Does anyone here have one of their laptops? How does the hardware compare to similarly priced products from mainstream vendors?

- bubblethink 8y agoIt's quite expensive for the specs, but it's a niche product. You're looking at a 1.5x-2x markup for hardware prices. What you get is mainly a new laptop that can run coreboot. Other than chromebooks, there aren't any other devices that do that right now.
- kelnos 8y agoI don't have one, but I've been watching them for a while. They tend to lag a bit on new hardware; for example they just announced new laptops with 7th-gen Intel CPUs, which are not the latest (9th-gen is expected this year). But they need extra time to get coreboot running on the system, remove as much of the Intel ME as they can, etc. So they're always going to be a little behind and won't have the most recent hardware. If you're ok with that tradeoff, and paying higher prices for it (since it's a fairly niche product), then they seem to be a good deal.
