To continue on this vein, the industry standard for privacy and security is pretty abysmal, and Purism has bucked the trend on that, so there’s no reason Purism shouldn’t eventually buck bad hardware trends as well. I understand the difficulty with building a new hardware platform (just look at how hard it was to get the L5 to production), but it would be nice if something physically sturdier were eventually available. Full disclosure: I had an L13v4 with a bad hinge that I had to fix, so I’m probably suffering from confirmation bias
