5 Birch Shipped</a></h1>
<p> On 26 November we shipped Librem 5 Birch devices to backers
and they started arriving very appropriately by Thanksgiving -
thank you to all our backers and community! Backers have
already been sharing their unboxing <a
href="https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/55eece8c-2d6c-4da3-8c8c-895217d66e2a">videos</a>,
<a href="https://azdle.net/2019/11/librem-5-unboxing/">photos</a>
and <a
href="https://azdle.net/2019/11/comparing-apples-and-gnomes/">positive
early impressions</a> for the in-development and pre-release
Librem 5 Birch batch: </p>
<blockquote> "I'm blown away by what Purism has been able to
accomplish. This is a much more polished product than I
expected when I backed. (...) All the basics are there and it
seems to be a solid foundation for the future" - <a

<h2><a
href="https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-birch-shipping-announcement/">Birch
Hardware Improvements</a></h2>
<p> We made a number of hardware improvements for the Librem 5
Birch batch. We have a much improved antennae design, shield
protectors across all components on the PCBA, rubber bumpers
to help tighten up the fit of component placement, strong
clips to secure the WiFi and Cellular cards, shorter cables to
clean-up the cable routing, tighter overall tolerance,
improved thermal dissipation into the case. </p>
