I’m new to this forum and Purism products. I’m interested in the laptop while waiting for the smartphone.
I tried to find how “commercially” old were the Librem 13v3 and Librem15v3 but I didn’t find a clear date. I guess it’s around mid 2017. Am I wrong ?
My real question was in fact when the v4 come out ? if already planned (with more recent Intel Core i7, faster RAM etc)
troll mode : with a Gigabit RJ45 port please ?
(I don’t want to launch another post about RJ45 port, I’ve read that Purism prefer to have an another usb port, I was just sayin’ )
I’m starting off the same way, purchased two of the Librem 5 phones, noticed they launched a Librem Key from Nitrokey and got one of those, it is fantastic.
I also have PureOS running on a Udoo maker box so I can get familiar with GNOME, long time Linux user but never with a GUI.
The Librem13 i’m just typing on is that thin - even if lid closed there’s nowhere enough space to place an RJ45-port - even those collapsible ones found on some laptops of other manufacturers. It’s just enough height for USB/HDMI.
As to speed and more up-to-date-hardware: Mine runs as hell (13v3, 500+GB NVMe SSD Samsung Pro, 16GB RAM). Don’t have an idea what would make sense to be tuned as it would probably be un-sensible.
