The Librem 16 laptop includes a signature Purism design, hardware kill switches that disconnect the camera, microphone, and wireless radios with a simple flip of the switch. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Librem 16 features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Display: 16&#8243; (40.6 cm viewable) with 1920\u00d71200 resolution<\/li>\n<li>Memory: 2x DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets, up to 64 GB<\/li>\n<li>CPU: Intel Core i7-13620H; 10 cores \/ 16 threads, clockable up to 4.9 GHz<\/li>\n<li>Performance cores: base clock 2.4 GHz, max turbo 4.9 GHz<\/li>\n<li>Efficiency cores: base clock 1.8 GHz, max turbo 3.6 GHz<\/li>\n<li>USB-C: 2 full-featured ports, supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2\u00d72, DisplayPort alt mode, and USB-PD charging up to 100 W<\/li>\n<li>USB-A: 2 ports, supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1\u00d71<\/li>\n<li>Full-size backlit keyboard with high-quality aluminium chassis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While founded in 2014, Purism&#8217;s roots can be traced back to the rise of the Internet, when Weaver was a systems administrator. &#8220;I was setting up email accounts for everybody, and I called a company-wide meeting to inform them of a company policy: &#8216;It is possible for me to read everything, okay.
