Librem Mini Gone from Shop Page

General Feedback

I happened to notice that Librem Mini is gone from the shop. Does this mean that the Bad blood in the forums problem and all the folks talking about Minis not working finally led to their elimination, or is this a temporary thing?

Just curious.

Community members can only really speculate but:

  • while it is gone from the shop,
  • it is still listed as a product on more general pages (e.g. home page and e.g. Products page)
  • but the link from there to the shop is now broken.

Another guess: The Librem Mini v2 is presently being replaced with the Librem Mini v3 and the way the web pages have been updated is untidy (temporary breakage and no explanation present on a web page). The specs given on the Products page relate to the v2 and are almost certainly going to change as part of such a refresh.

I don’t know of course. @JCS ?

  1. Librem Mini v2 is now completely out of stock and is discontinued.
  2. We are actively developing the Librem Mini v3 with substantially higher specifications.
  3. The Librem Mini v2 being archived in the shop is the first step of many to reduce visual clutter and gaze toward the v3.

I have a Librem Mini and I like it. I haven’t had any problems with it.

Indeed, I got my Librem Mini in 2020 and it performed very well. The metal case, very nice.

Unfortunately it died last month and after a month waiting for an answer to my email about it I’m shipping it in for service. Likely the power supply on the mother board went dead. I think it’s worth the $200-300 to get it fixed.

Maybe my duckduckgoing skills are awful, but do you announce in via blog or anywhere product discontinuations?

Whatever bit that helps people guess less what’s going on would be great!

No, apparently only on the forums so far.

Purism may have the perspective and intention that this is not a product discontinuation. That is to say, it’s just the v2 being replaced by the v3 … but with a clunky gap between end of availability of the v2 and commencement of availability of the v3.

I know that doesn’t remove the validity of your question, so perhaps search for whether there is an announcement regarding the end of the Librem 13 or of the Librem 15, which really are gone.
