[QUOTE="93803123, post: 834571"] Cheaper than the $5000 Samsung Galaxy Fold and with hardware specifications that are 3 to 5 years old. Heck, even their laptops use i7 7500U which was released in 2016. Now given that its running a Linux distro, in the vast majority of cases that CPU will be adequate. However, they slapped a 4K panel on the thing - LOL - which most everyone knows 4K on a laptop makes no sense except for multi-media pros. It's all using older hardware. Supporting FOSS ideals is [I]really [/I]expensive. However, one analyzes the price, the Librem 5 is a bad deal. What you're paying for is to support the Linux\FOSS\privacy ideals and Librem - in the hopes that future Librem 5 builds will be better. [/QUOTE]
