any decent keyboard with enough space can implement this above the key space.

Actually in AMD’s new agesa update you can turn off PSP in bios. Of course some of the PSP still runs, same case with the Intel ME currently inside librem devices. I don’t think they would decline to work with you folks at puri.sm so that you can get that working in coreboot. It would be really nice to have more threads for development. Especially because a “desktop replacement” is not accurate after the laptop lost 2 cores.
I have a real issue with the current cooling solution, mostly the fact that it get air from underneath. Would be nice to see a solution that would suck in air from the sides of the Chassis.
Have to second the usb c charging.
Really would like to have dual channel memory back on the librem 15, along with faster memory (3200 MT/s is validated by AMD), a removal of SATA ports in favor of M.2 Slots.

all that does is hide the PSP from the OS, it’s not really “off,” and not the same as what we’re doing with the ME on the Intel side. We have an open dialog with AMD and are certainly interested in using their products should the right conditions exist.
as mentioned previously, the next model Librems will be quad core at a minimum.

Ok sorry for the misunderstanding. Can we please get dual channel memory back tho?
Also IDK how much stock you guys have left for SSD devices, but they are getting much cheaper and it would be nice to see more reasonable prices, and larger sizes by default when that stock is depleted.

dual channel memory is high on the wishlist, trust me. SSD inventory and pricing isn’t something I have control or visibility into. As with pretty much any computer you buy, it’s almost always significantly cheaper to buy the base RAM/SSD config and upgrade yourself

My Points:
- A better battery at least 7 hours surfing
- Caps indicator LED
- Charging LED that you can see if you close your notebook!!!
- Smaller device to long because of numpad!
- fast hardware for 4k video playback so we can use that 4k Display!
- Thunderbolt 3 Please for EGPU for real desktop replacement!
- Better 2,4G wifi range
- Remove Bugs in PureOS like if you change the language the system can freeze or full encryption problems because by default the system encrypt your swaplinux with luks…
- Pure Browser not Gecko should be Blink ungoogled with: HTTPS Everywhere, Ublock, Privacy Badger, Cookie auto delete and Noscript default
Optional:
- Thin bezels
- Design improvements like hardware switches looks or better build quality on the ports
- A Pro Modell with a GPU but really possible because you can’t get a new video card with no firmware blobs… maybe purism can buy used old one
- 4k display and for the librem 13 1080p with 100% AdobeRGB
- power supply cable like the macbook one so the big case from powersupply is at the end
For more infos check me review of the Librem 15v4:

ThinkPad keyboard, smaller bezels, usb-c charging, adequate colour gamut and I would buy it at once.
I’m just gonna highlight all the requests
- USB-C charging & Thunderbolt w/ egpu support
- AMD APU
- Ethernet port
- Touchscreen as an option but not a default
- Longer Battery life (i don’t mind if the device gets a little more thicc personally)
- Capslock LED on the key itself
- a smaller device without a numbpad
- Hardware accelerated 4k decode
- Better Wifi Card. Seeing lots of issues with this on the forum and having it myself
- Pure OS isn’t really polished enough
- more m.2 would me nice to have support for m.2 22110 size as well.
- dual channel ram
- better cooling solution / airflow locations
- Color accuracy improvement
- power indicator visible with a closed laptop
Can any one think of anymore?
I personally would prefer an FSF approved manjaro style distro with parablola as a base. Would have had more software support and would have been rolling release. Running parabola now, I like the package selection. Way more software than pure OS.

At least 1 year. They just dropped a phone 
could only imagine if they bestowed upon us a new computer 
hopefully they get away from the public molds and make their own design at some point. The wedge design is pretty ugly, would be nice if it was symmetrical in 2 axes not just one.

I remembered another improvement, shift the power led indicator to a place where one can see it even when the laptop is closed. Good people, i think Purism next big update to the laptop is, using ARM chips on laptops. as we can already see how Pine64 has already made an ARM laptop but Purism is going to bring an ARM high end laptop. For now we can forget about AMD.

true, I when looked at the development and progress it got me thinking that they won’t be releasing any new laptop for sometime. The librem phone is keeping purism busy to the point where one can say that it’s going to be a long time till they release a new laptop. i thought to myself and said maybe they should do small incremental improvement for their laptops.

the phone has potential to keep them busy to the point where we might start to think that they may have forgotten about their other products e.g laptop
we need to come up with a design, the ultimate design of the laptop
the ThinkPad keyboard has a nice key travel:wink: one day i was looking a the thinkpad carbon x1 nice but it also has it’s disadvantage
I think a 4k display is somewhat unnecessary, it will drive up the price even higher, for a smaller group of customer in a already small community. Not to mention it will sets of a chain of problems, e.g. shorter battery life. While people are demanding for a 4k display while also long for a longer battery life, I hope they will understand this correlation.
Things like Capslock LED, removal of number Pads, and USB-C charging, I’d assume would cost a lot less.

You can buy a 4k Display like this one in Purism Notebook for 100 dollar, the prices purism pay are much more lower. Believe me you don’t want to know the hardware prices, this low specs notebook with old hardware
I see no problem with a 4k display, but you should have a good cpu and cpu that can handle 4k content, that’s the real problem. For better battery life set the resolution to 1080p. Dell is managing the batter life with 4k too. Power efficiency is a big problem in linux Notebooks. Windows notebooks are settled this problem the last years so then can slightly compare with MacBooks.
But yes, maybe there might be a correlation for purism.

Please get rid of the numpad and the ugly offset from center trackpad.
The 15 inch macbook pro keyboard’s layout/position is perfect.
Bigger trackpad.
The Librem 15 already has a 4K display.
So you could be asking for a Librem 15 “Lite” that is only Full High Definition. That isn’t something that I would be pushing for, hypothetically speaking.
I also wanted a numlock indicator, not just capslock. In neither case did I insist it be on the key itself; I’d be happy with a software warning on both the decryption and login screens.
