Just opened it up. Initial impressions are that I love the size so far. Seems very snappy. Phosh works quite well on this form factor. Keyboard having a hardwired pogo pin connection rather than bluetooth is great. Keyboard is big enough to type pretty well on. Works well with the USB-C dock from the pursim store, but the Librem5 charger connected to the dock doesn’t seem to be able to charge it. Only desire so far is I wish the keyboard had a trackpoint, but that is my wish for every keyboard. Anything anyone wants to know?

What does this command say?
cat /etc/os-release
Byzantium or Crimson?
Edit: maybe check these as well:
lscpu
df -h
free -h

Thanks!
So, to summarize:
- PureOS Crimson
- Intel Celeron N5100 CPU
- 1 TeraByte disk
- 8 GB memory
I guess that’s all as expected, the specs match what the Purism– Librem 11 page says. But it’s nice to have that verified

Congratulations!
is it possible to develop software for Librem 5 ?
What kind of question is this? You can even develop software for the Librem 5 on the Librem 5…

Anyway, how is latency with the pen if you use different brushes in Krita or MyPaint?
Here is a quick video of mypaint: https://imgur.com/D1Dzx6u
I don’t have much to compare it too but seems to have some latency

Does suspend/sleep work?
Does it get warm during use?
How are the cameras? Quality? Usable in browsers/apps?
1 Like
suspend/sleep seem to work fine
there js certainly a warm portion while in use
the cameras work, however they seem to be stuck in landscape mode, and dont auto adjust in the two methods i tried, cheese app and a zoom web test session in firefox, so that experience isnt great

Thanks for the info!
The rear camera protudes from the back by several mm, which is annoying, but doesn’t seem to be much of a problem so far. The edges and corners of the protusion are beveled/rounded and seem to be made of plastic. My concerns are that the protusion might scuff or even scratch something soft enough and the protusion itself might get scuffed or scratched over time and degrade photos.

Outside a bespoke case for the Librem 11, perhaps it’s possible to place an adhesive rubber or felt ring around the camera protrusion to help protect it.

Thanks. The case/keyboard does somewhat protect the protusion.
I’ll try to remember to use the case when setting the tablet on a hard surface.

I don’t know what Purism promised, but the charger has a PD port, a QC 3.0 port, and two 2.4A ports.
So I played around with the tablet last night. Listening to music over Bluetooth, browsing, installing and trying apps, etc. I got about ~3 hours of battery life with the display brightness at half. Not great but hopefully can be improved. My external PD battery pack doesn’t seem to be able to charge it either. It has a display and I can see that it’s trying but doesn’t. Can’t get anything but the included charger to charge it yet.

… which would actually be easier in the sense that if you tried to develop software for the Librem 5 on the Librem 11, you would have to contend with a cross-build environment and you would probably want to build twice (once for local testing, and then after testing and debugging, a cross-build for the target environment and more testing).
At the moment you would also have to contend with: the Librem 11 must run crimson whereas your Librem 5 probably isn’t yet and probably doesn’t want to yet.
My impression would be that the OP wouldn’t have tried this yet anyway, as the Librem 11 only arrived a few days ago!
Congratulations!
@lo0 , can you please post the output of
sudo lshw -short
(or simply “lshw -short” after becoming root)?
It would show hardware specs.
Was looking for a good tablet and found this one. Could’t resist and just ordered
I’m wondering is it possible (or recommended) to play with OSes, such as resize the drive and install second OS like ubuntu, with grub and OS selection? Anybody tried this?
Somewhat concerned about potential shipping delays, especially after reading an active thread “Estimate your Librem 5 refund”. I have all receipts and saved the page that says 10 days, just in case…
Are other pending orders fullfilled? Anybody else received it in the meantime?

Librem11 is a product ready to ship. Shouldn’t be a problem. If you want a 120 $ discount on the Librem11 you can always buy one the old Librem5 orders and ask Purism to convert it to 120% store credits. It’s a hassle and you need to find someone who wants to sell.
Thank you @Vertebra , might be an interesting idea, but I already paid for Librem11 in full with CC… And buying-selling orders is somewhat too exotic…Good that you posted it though, as this thread is the 1st place for new customers like myself to check before buying this tablet! Hope somebody else will be able to use this…
