I had a Librem 15 and I will never buy another Purism product again. I wish it was good, but the product broke in less than two years. Worse yet, when it broke

  I'm still using my Librem 15 and it works fine though.

    Lucky! The first issue I had was the battery not being replaceable since they stopped making the 15's battery and couldn't offer any OEM/part info for a replacement. The second issue was more serious, the motherboard simply died and couldn't boot. At least I was able to recover the drive/ram which went into my new system76 laptop (that was 2.5 years ago).
