Open hardware (Was: Castrated netbook)

While its at a higher performance/price point than the netbooks and chromebooks, it might be worth taking a look at the crowd-funded Librem laptops at https://puri.sm/, they also ship with coreboot, and your choice of PureOS[1] or Qubes[2] pre-installed. Otherwise, if you want something capable of booting with libreboot, then there's always http://minifree.org/product/libreboot-x200/ There's still some way to go before completely freeing firmware, but I'm hoping this is just the beginning of a bigger trend towards more open hardware.
