Despite not being advertised as Open Source Hardware, looks like overall approach from Librem will lead to transparent sourcing of Free/Libre SW compatible hardware.
Ai interesting project you may found appealing and decide to pre-buy on Crowdsupply which is slightly becoming on of the place-to-go for cool HW products that want to redefine value proposition.
The Purism Librem 15 is the first high-end laptop in the world that ships without mystery software in the kernel, operating system, or any software applications. Every other consumer-grade laptop you can purchase comes with an operating system that includes suspect, proprietary software, and there’s no way for you to know what that software does.

Wonderful initiative.
Love the choices you can make such as choosing between 4, 8 and 16 GB ram memory and of course the drive bay and storage choices.
