Librem 14 begins shipping
a laptop that starts at $1470 with a <i>802.11n</i> wireless network interface, in the year 2021?  seriously?<p>Good luck with that when you want to copy some large files, or do anything network intensive, and your speeds max out at 65 Mbps between laptop and AP. As compared to the easily 300-450Mbps you can do in a 40 MHz channel with a 2x2 802.11ac connection. (Not even going to get into 3x3 and 80 MHz channel speeds here).<p>looking at the librem 14 product specs page I can't even find any details on what exact chipset and antenna configuration it is.<p>At that price it needs to be 802.11ac/ax 3x3 MIMO dual band.<p>Overall it makes me wonder what other shoddy stuff might be used as various subsystems/components of the laptop, if I sat down with one and did "sudo lspci -v". For this "Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with Integrated RJ45 Connector" am I going to find a realtek chipset that belongs in a $430 laptop you can buy at Best Buy?<p>And then they have the gall to sell the <i>power adapter</i> separately from the laptop, for an extra $59? What brand new laptop on earth doesn't come with an AC wall adapter/charger in the box?
