(Updated July 1, 2015)

Due to the overwhelming backer response to our Librem 15 design, and the fantastic responses from an unbelievably knowledgeable group, we have had to break our manufacturing into two revisions to accommodate every request. ‘rev1’ will be the incremental step toward the final ‘rev2’ which will have all the approved changes from the backers. This will mean rev1 will (meet the April 2015 deliverable) ship in the June 2015, rev2 will be begin delivery in September 2015, with the more challenging configurations shipping in July of 2015.

The important take away from this news is that unless you specifically requested a rev1 (we sent emails to all backers who have a configuration that would support rev1), we will be shipping rev2 to all other backers.

Thank you for understanding for us to accommodate all the great backer ideas, we have had to work diligently with the fabrication to get it all to work to our strict beliefs and standards, which has added manufacturing time.

Here are the differences between ‘rev1’ and ‘rev2’:

We fully understand that any delay is not a positive experience, but hope you all can understand the importance of what we are doing long-term, and this delay to get to a wonderful backer designed rev2 will be worth every bit of the wait.
