I really like my Librem 13" ... it's very hard to find a system approaching modern that runs flawlessly with no closed firmware required. Coreboot is available for those willing to take on a fairly serious hack but it's not shipping yet from what I can tell. I honestly don't think they deserve the hate I see leveled at them. I needed a replacement and they provided it no questions asked.
- dogma1138 10y agoNo hate, they just are marketed falsely and in all honesty they aren't any more secure than any other device as long as you wipe it. You can install coreboot on other machines, there will still be closed source microcode in the CPU and closed firmware in some of the controllers. And the hardware is simply out of date, you can get a dell xps 13 with more modern hardware for the same price and in essence the same level of assureance. If you are worried about state level actors exploiting bugs or backdoors in your hardware Librem isn't what is going to stop them.
