@sneak @purism We had a 4k screen in our past 15.6" laptop but design team deemed it unnecessary for this smaller screen. Our goal isn't to compete purely on specs and race to the bottom on price, but instead provide unique features hard to find in other laptops: hardware kill switches, ethernet, removable components that run with free software drivers, Qubes support, anti-interdiction services, and coreboot or PureBoot (Heads) boot firmware and FOSS EC firmware.
@sneak @purism Charges with either barrel or usb-c ports. I charge mine with a standard USB-C PD hub acting as a docking station most of the time, but have the option to use barrel charger if I needed the extra usb-c port and didn't have a hub.
