Purism currently is offering the Purism Librem 15, a 15.6″ laptop, meeting the strictest of hardware requirements. This is the first laptop to be manufactured where there is no mystery software. This means there are absolutely no proprietary drivers in the Linux kernel, no Linux kernel binary blobs, and no proprietary software applications required to operate this computer.
Enjoy your freedom!
About a year and a half ago, I engaged on an admittedly quixotic project to build my own laptop. By I, I mean we, namely Sean “xobs” Cross and me, bunnie. Building your own laptop makes about as much sense as retrofitting a Honda Civic with a 1000hp motor, but the lack of practicality never stopped the latter activity, nor ours.

The desire to own a computer or device and have full control over it, to know that you are not being spied on or tracked, to run any software you wish without asking permission, and to share with friends without worrying about Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) —these are the desires of millions of people who care about the future of technology and our society. Unfortunately, hardware manufacturers have until now relied on close cooperation with proprietary software companies that demanded control over their users. As citizens and their customers, we need to promote our desires for a new class of hardware — hardware that anyone can support because it respects your freedom.
