Or perhaps more than a bit more ;) I see that the Librem 14 version 1
starts at $1470, for an i7 10710U, 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD, 14" 1920x1080
screen, no WLAN. I'm pretty sure you can do a whole lot better than
that from the standard brands.

Hey, if money is no object, and you want to go all the way down this

make laptops):
