Purism received the (third) prototype of the Librem 15 rev2 on August 13th 2015, here is the prototype certification play-by-play…

First a photo of motherboard inside the Purism Librem 15 rev2 prototype’s case:

We first load PureOS running a kernel from Linux-libre which ensures we are not running any binary blobs.

Here is the summary:
