If the thinkpad community gets behind this, there will be a market for upspecced thinkpads as long as supplies last. the reduce re-use re-cycle part here is nicely inserting itself into the recycle tail side.

It's such a pity 51nb's upgraded ThinkPad project is no longer quite as active as it was. I think the small niche market for hacker-friendly laptops is far too diluted now, especially with qualitatively unique products like the MNT Reform. https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1dh04ud/how_do_get_51nb_thinkpad/ https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1dh04ud/how_do_ge...

Abhas Abhinav of Deeproot Linux runs "Mostly Harmless" which sells refurbished Thinkpads with binary blobs removed. https://mostlyharmless.io/computers/ https://mostlyharmless.io/computers/

  This is amazing, I didn't know we had people doing this kind of stuff in India. Are there any other similar services that you know of, that are doing open source/Linux-friendly hardware, etc.?

  Highly recommend. Bought a ThinkPad from Abhas and it runs like tank.
