While I certainly don't want to take business away from Minifree: If you are up for refurbishing the laptop yourself, you can substantially beat Minifree's prices. Especially for older models (that Minifree no longer sells) like the X60 that are easy to install Libreboot on compared to newer models that require a separate SPI programmer.
Also, FWIW, Minifree no longer seeks the RYF certification nor advertises it on existing products. I don't expect them to respect your freedom any less, but because of the FSF/Libreboot conflict they no longer seek the cert.
- chriswarbo 10y agoYeah, I got this machine before the current drama; in fact it's an X60, which I bought as soon as it was announced (when minifree was "gluglug"); mostly to avoid installing libreboot myself, since I don't trust myself not to brick things :P
