More realistic seems to be a iMX8M-Mini cause of the problems with iMX8M is eating to much power.
That would be quite a bummer, since the Mini doesn't seem to have HDMI. [1]
What's Purisms take on that?

Can you elaborate please?
I don't feel well informed about the Necuno at the moment, but that might be just my fault because without a GSM modem that device is of little interest to me.

What do you think of the Dragonbox Pyra in comparison to the Librem 5?
I know their concepts aren't totally comparable, but besides that, is there a reason you didn't mention it?

btw:
Do you know what happened to the Librem 11 detachable? It's been announced for how long now? 2 years?
What happened to it that resulted in it neither seeming to make any progress nor being cancelled?
I'd be fine with either of those options as long as there's info on that, but by now frankly I'd expect that info to be placed prominently on the product's page.
