Not a backer but am interested in clarification on the CPU shortage - in a past update/blog Purism warned about the potential for this to cause a delay.
With this Summary now does this mean there is indeed a delay or is the company still operating under the premise that they have enough but are letting people know in advance so not to create false expectations?
Due to a number of factors we explain in this longer blog post, including a potential CPU supply chain issue, we could only generate shipping estimates for some pre-orders.
What does this mean for you? Based on our efforts thus far there’s a good chance it will not affect your shipping time as we continue to track down new CPU supplies and plan for future manufacturing runs. So far it hasn’t caused a delay.
