What ever happened to the Librem 16?
Disappeared from all radars…
Any news, anyone?

The Librem 16 is coming. It will include either PureOS Crimson or Dawn. As discussed elsewhere, there is a substantial amount of effort involved in the Crimson release, while the Dawn release is expected to be relatively straightforward once we reach the first production release of Crimson. Purism has been designing the Librem 16 for some time and is currently negotiating with vendors and inventory lenders to bring it to market. Various internal adjustments and infrastructure improvements have caused delays in the development of the Librem 16, but these efforts will ultimately benefit the entire Librem ecosystem by enhancing quality assurance and more transparent, consistent communication from Purism.

Cant wait to buy one, to replace my Librem14 whereas I borked the battery connector when swapping out an aged one

Can that not be repaired?

It can be, for the cost of a replacement MB. I was quoted about $475 for a new part. However, I’d rather invest that money into the Librem 16. Hopefully its not vaporware! The Librem 14 I have continues to serve me - tethered to A/C power and external power cells..

It’s a good solution (rather than having to buy a new MB)
Also makes it much lighter to carry around once the battery is removed.
