We set out to build our dream laptop with the Librem 14 and that meant adding new features such as:

• Two SO-DIMM slots with up to 64GB RAM
• Write-protected BIOS and EC chips with an internal switch
• Microphone kill switches that extend protections to the headphone jack
• Enhanced WiFi M.2 slots for hardware hacking
• Extra control over the embedded controller, and a new user-controlled notification LED

The Librem 14 is going to be a powerhouse with a six core, twelve thread, 4.70Ghz i7-10710U tenth generation Intel CPU. When we first announced the Librem 14 pre-order, we estimated shipping would begin in early Q4 2020 but unfortunately Intel has industry-wide supply issues with the i7-10th gen CPUs which has moved the ship date for the Librem 14 to December 2020.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that the current $100 pre-order sale will continue for a bit longer. We also hope to finish some fresh Librem 14 prototypes in about a week, so we can share new pictures of the design.
