Hello,
I’m very interested in the Librem products. But I find the lack of a built in ethernet port is putting me off from buying them. Will the next batch of machine’s have a Built in Ethernet?

Hi,
we heard you and quite some more have expressed this wish.
But since this is a major change in the harware and case design we can do realize this short term, I am afraid. But I can as much as our hardware partner is aware of our wish to have Ethernet and we are actively evaluating ways to get it into the machines (again - the V1 laptops had physical Ethernet).
So in short, no, the next batch is unlikely to have it but we are working on it.
Cheers

Why isn’t an adapter a solution for you? (honest question)
Thank’s I’ll be keeping an eye out.
An ethernet adapter is just too easy for me to loose, I don’t use Wifi that much, I would say 90% of the time I use ethernet for the speed and security of my networks.
Eth adapter mean your eth data will go on usb controller and this is not good for privacy and security

Hi,
I’d like to contribute to this conversation.
This is the same case for me, I’d love to have the Ethernet option and I’m holding back on buying a Librem until this is done.
Not only is this important for connection speed and security but also so that Wifi isn’t leaking everywhere and moving society in a direction of being forced to conform and be limited to an unaware world where wifi becomes the only option.
Not a lot of people talk about this but exposure to Wifi is detrimental to ones health and well-being.
So pushing back on the common sheepish way to pollute everywhere with Wifi frequencies with no awareness as to what they are really doing is a big step in the right direction; bigger than what it may seem on the surface.
So we need to have our vote for the world we want in every action - this is important.
