The huge kicker about this is that the company pine64 already has a better, cheaper option with their line of the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro, which are designed exclusively for Linux and phosh experiences. With every upgrade they don't even scratch $600 a unit. At the very least, Purism is pricing themselves unfairly. Also with their past quality control failures with the Librem line, what faith should we have in th…

Pine64 do not write any software, and many operating systems on Pinephone actually use Phosh developed by Purism for Librem 5.

That was my first thought when I saw it was from Purism

Librem 5 USA is in stock, and original Librem 5 already has lead time of 6 weeks.

I ordered a Librem 5 in 2021 and haven’t received it. I asked for a refund in Feb 2023 and haven’t received that either. No need for lies.

And yet I’ve received no emails.. the idea that they’re ready to ship to new buyers in 6 weeks when existing ones have not been made whole says it all.

You seem to musunderstand the situation. Your turn did not come yet, but it will come much earlier than in 6 weeks, because all orders will be fulfilled within 6 weeks.

It depends on how "made" is defined. Does it mean designed, manufactured, or assembled? Probably the latter.

purism doesn't have the benefit of the doubt anymore. in past i rooted for them and assumed everything was innocent mistakes... but receiving their borderline illegal investment scam emails every month and the way they deny librem13/15 quality issues just taught me it is pure malice.

While the 13/15 had poor build, the Librem 14 is quite well built and the most secure laptop on the market today (outside of proprietary closed-source.)
