Purism's laptops are getting more and more popular and that's good news!

They build laptops with Linux installed and privacy in mind.
They also designed a tablet pc "Transformer" with Linux.

A good initiative to support!

"Purism’s Security Focused Librem Laptops Go Mainstream as General Availability Begins"

@KillianKemps I had one of their laptops. I hope their build quality is better than the one I had and ended up needing to replace shortly after purchase.

I also hope they adopt HardenedBSD instead of Linux, since the state of security on Linux isn't that great.

@lattera I never tried a Purism laptop, but if you say they are not well built, it is a little bit disappointing.

I'm used to Thinkpads, and I like their build quality. I hope some Linux laptop vendor will approach this build quality one day.

@KillianKemps my Dell Precision 7510 shipped with Linux. Even though I replaced Linux with HardenedBSD, I love the laptop. Best system I've ever owned.
