I wonder when it will become illegal to produce such laptops as states progresses with surveillance and data collection about citizens. I would really like to buy privacy oriented laptop as I don't feel comfortable that someone can look up my private life. But this laptop is pretty weak to use it for work I do sadly. When something more up to date is going to come out, I am definitely going to buy.

That's a probable future scenario, that computers will have privacy-invasive data collection or some kind of security/encryption bypass required by law. I feel like those of us who are privacy-conscious need to support projects/companies/products like these, that are transparent/open-source and respect their users' privacy. I also agree with your sentiment that this particular laptop model might not be powerful enough for "serious work" - although it's getting close, and I'm considering something similar in the near future.
