      Taking Stock of Librem 14

[read online <https://puri.sm/posts/taking-stock-of-librem-14/>with

The Librem 14 <https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/> is the best laptop 
we’ve made to date and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from 
customers so far. The increased demand for the Librem 14, combined with 
supply chain challenges over the last year has meant delays and longer 
lead times for new orders. For those of you who have been considering a 
Librem 14 of your own, good news! We are almost caught up on all Librem 
14 orders and have taken measures to ensure we maintain stock from that 
point onward.

*We will have our shelves full of Librem 14 stock by the end of the year!*

If you have been on the fence about ordering your own Librem 14, but 
were wondering how we were addressing the supply chain, now’s a great 
time to buy <https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-14/>.

      Video Editing on Linux, with Gardiner Bryant

When we were designing the Librem 14 
<https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/>, we wanted it to be our dream 
laptop in all possible respects. We fit in most resources in there that 
could run coreboot and PureBoot. We settled on a tenth generation Intel 
i7 10710U CPU with 6 cores and 12 threads and combined with up to 64GB 
RAM and fast NVMe storage, we feel this is a great laptop for 
resource-intensive tasks like video editing.

Instead of just telling you about it, we thought it would be useful to 
show you. We thought it would be better (and more aligned with our 
Social Purpose <https://puri.sm/about/social-purpose/>) to invest in a 
complete tutorial series that would teach people how to edit videos on a 
Librem 14 running PureOS. And who better to teach you how to edit videos 
in Linux than someone who does it professionally, so we partnered with 
Gardiner Bryant <https://odysee.com/@TheLinuxGamer:f> to produce a 
complete series. This series will cover all the major aspects of video 
editing from selecting video editing software through to each step in 
the process.

      Throwback to Most Popular Content for 2021

2021 was intense. *We’ve all gotten SO MUCH better at changing fast.* 
Most of us transitioned from office to work from home to work from 
anywhere, and grappled with taking control of our privacy and security 
while on the move. 2021 was the year where cyber attacks, ransomware and 
data breaches continued to make waves. Just two examples of how we have 
all *learnt to become much more resilient.* The disruption we’ve faced 
has given us confidence that we can tackle a lot of change — and we can 
be OK. For Purism, this was a year of transformation and growth, amidst 
real challenges. Thank you for all your support and contribution!

      Looking Forward to 2022!

In 2021 we made massive investments in hardware fabrication and 
electronics components so that in 2022 we can make the transition from 
“Just In Time” fulfillment where we manufacture new hardware just in 
time before our previous manufacturing run is depleted, to a new model 
where we hold much more inventory so we can absorb any disruptions in 
shipping or the supply chain without disrupting our own ability to ship 
new orders.

Starting the first week of 2022 the Librem 14 will use this new 
approach, with other products following suit as the supplies with longer 
lead times come in. As products move to this new model, we are going to 
improve our fulfillment to ship orders faster.

Once again, thank you for supporting and funding advancements in 
hardware privacy and security. With Purism you don’t just get hardware 
that runs free software well. You are directly funding the future of 
free software, not just software that runs on Purism hardware, but 
software that benefits the entire free software ecosystem.

Thanking you for your support,
— the Purism team (feedback at puri.sm)
