I’m selling my Librem 14 which came in half a year after ordering it for $3,052.99 overall.
Details:
Battery 4-cell
Memory (DDR4): 64GB (2x32GB)
Storage (M.2 SSD): 1TB (NVMe Pro)
Power Adapter Plug: EU
Firmware: PureBoot Bundle Anti-Interdiction (PureBoot Bundle Plus + Anti-interdiction services)
Operating System: PureOS
Warranty: 1 Year
Privacy Screen for Librem 14
It can be shipped via DHL, UPS, whatever expedited or regularly, either way it would take 2-14 days to arrive maximum.
Only 1 year warranty for $3000 laptop? That’s pretty shit. Purism doesn’t seem to have much faith in their own products.
The 1-year warranty is included, but you can buy an optional 3-year warranty for $169. This practice is fairly standard with vendors, from what I’ve seen.
I do think the industry should offer longer warranties as standard, though.
For comparison: https://system76.com/laptops/lemp13/configure
I believe much of the limitation is due to the consumable nature of batteries, but I feel that @amarok is completely correct, and I have created internal issues to raise awareness of the concern for standard 1-year warranties and to consider a caveat to isolate the batteries within the warranty policy (i.e. making it more of a “limited parts and labor warranty” as System76 has done in the link above).
The store page for the L14 shows:
Available on backorder - restocking soon
…so purchasing this bundle may be the quickest way to get your hands on a L14!
Will Purism honor the warranty if your not the original owner, or is it buyer beware on the 2nd hand market? (useful info to anyone considering Op’s offer)
That’s a very good question. The original warranty will be honored with the same terms (the warranty is neither lost nor extended). I will create a ticket to ensure that this is officially disclosed in the published hardware warranty policy.
shipping from?
will ship to?
asking price?
Shipping from Netherlands/ Germany, can do both since I live close to the border.
Shipping to everywhere.
Asking price is $3k.
I am just curious why you opened the box when you had in mind to sell it for the same purchase price?
Also the 2 photos that you shared are very strong, please improve the contrast and visibility.
You are also not obliged to answer my questions.
Thanks
Had to unpack and boot it up once to make sure everything is working as intended. I wouldn’t like to sell/ keep something flawed.
Great.
Why did you decide to Sell your Librem 14? when it is best Free Software Computer over Propietary-Opensource Computer like System76, i mean it is a privilege to own one L14.
Because I had to wait over half a year for it to arrive and got a satisfying alternative in the meantime, probably not better than the Librem 14 but suffices still.
Yeah that is too much time.
Great.
Thanks for responding…
No problem
