"The Librem 13 is powered by a fifth-generation, 2.2-GHz dual-core Intel Processor. The standard specs list 4 GB DDR3L of RAM, expandable to 16 GB. The review unit, however, was loaded with 8 GB of RAM."
Processor etc.

Sweet! Almost 2 grand for the spec equivalent of a $399 special in the windows world...

Notice that there is a $500 coupon. So it is $1,100, not $1,600.

Exactly. It is $1624 to buy it, or $25 off a $500 coupon / credit.
