Seventh Generation Intel Processor

Two Cores, Four Threads, 3.50GHz i7-7500U

Processors are essential—they are called central processing units, for a reason. Selecting Intel based processors, the seventh generation mobile version, offers the best battery life while not compromising speed and supporting the open source coreboot BIOS. In using the latest from Intel, processor-hungry applications finish at lightning speed.

Fast Memory Galore

8GB, up to 32GB, DDR4.

Memory is a wonderful thing. Purism offers the best in class memory modules at the fastest speeds available in a laptop. You will notice how quickly software applications respond when using the highest quality freedom-respecting hardware.

Seventh Generation Intel Graphics

Optimized for media, without the power drain, using Intel HD Graphics 620

Play movies, edit videos and render 3D easily with a power-optimized seventh generation graphics processing unit.

Purism Kill Switches

Two hardware kill switches, microphone/camera and wireless/bluetooth

Now with a physical toggle switch, when your camera and microphone are switched off, you know they are off. Wireless and Bluetooth are combined in a second hardware switch to control all your radio signals inbound and outbound.

Anodized Aluminium Chassis

Thin, light, and strong

Selecting the third most abundant element, and most abundant metal on earth means we get the great benefits of aluminium, light, thin, and strong, while using abundant earth resources.

13.3″ Matte IPS Display

Enjoy your screen in all lighting conditions

With our anti-reflection matte IPS display you can view your screen from the position that is most comfortable for you, avoiding the uncomfortable mirror-like reflections of glossy displays.

Large Multitouch Trackpad

Scroll, click, zoom, scale, all with an easy-to-use multitouch trackpad

First, there was the mouse. Then came joysticks, eraser-heads, trackballs…now welcome the ultimate interface: the multitouch trackpad, with gestures natively supported under PureOS.

Backlit Keyboard, Perfect Keypress

Build quality starts from the first thing you touch. You will enjoy typing on your Librem so much, you may never stop typing. The Librem 13 offers a full-sized keyboard, with easy to press keys—but not too easy—floating high enough to feel “just right” when you push down. Enjoy typing day and night with the backlit keys with two levels of intensity.

Super Sturdy Hinge

Designed to last, reinforced metal, mounted directly to the case and screen

We get excited about hinges. Often overlooked by inadequate laptop makers, our hinge is built to be sturdy for life, staying shut when shut, and staying put in any of the 130° of screen angle while in use.

Purism Key

A powerful key to search your computer and applications

One button to rule them all. Quickly access all your favorite apps and documents from a single key.

Freedom 360°

Top, Left, Right, Front, and Rear, it’s hard to go wrong with these profiles

Sleek, slender, stylish, slim, are just a few words to describe the Librem laptops.

Your Privacy Is Protected Chip By Chip

Every hardware chip individually selected with emphasis on freedom-respecting

All other laptops use hardware chips coupled with software that can betray you. News stories have shown how these chips can surreptitiously transmit voice, networking, picture or video signals. Other chips are used to install spyware, malware or viruses. These built-in vulnerabilities can turn “your” computer into “their” computer. Purism works with hardware component suppliers and the Free software community towards making hardware that respects your privacy and protects your security.

Comes with the most rights-respecting operating system

PureOS, from the bootloader, kernel, through to the hundreds of thousands of software applications available, is built line-by-line with emphasis on your rights to privacy, security, and freedom.

Aligned Beliefs—We believe what you believe

When you use a Purism computer you know you are operating the best hardware and software, while keeping your rights to privacy, security, and freedom in mind. We place respecting users’ rights to privacy, security, and freedom above all else.
