According to Purism, the relevant components are disconnected via hardware, so malware has no way of bypassing them. The Librem 16 ships with PureOS, a Debian-based version of Linux that is said to have been specifically enhanced for stability and data protection. The hardware is a bit dated, as Purism uses an Intel Core i7-13620H with six performance cores and four efficiency cores. It also features up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and an SSD with a maximum capacity of 16 TB. The laptop features two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI, Ethernet, and a microSD slot.
