This is unacceptable advice, something very wrong with the advertisement.

Generally the Lenovo laptops works really well, nothing beats the IBM
days, but I have at the moment around 90 or so X1 Carbon's out in the
field in various generations from generation 2 all the way to latest 6th
gen., never had problems with the Linux support or stability of the
laptops.

The IBM Thinkpads… sure, they worked well.
ThinkPads use devices for which there are open source devices for everything,
as far as I know. Still, hardware support in the BSDs lags Linux to varying
degrees, because of slower hardware. (My 2015 E550, for example, still lacked
full video support in FreeBSD RELEASE, last time I looked.

I am just researching this as well and have settled on the Dell laptops
because they come pre-configured with Ubuntu and therefore I assume they will
be opensource friendly. I have short listed:1. Dell Precision 7520 ($1502)2.

I looked into all of your comments, and I thank you for it. The
coreboot/libreboot way was very tempting, but not competitive pricewise. I no
longer have a desktop since the past century, spoiled by three MBPs, and need
something robust, light, and performing. I spotted an offer for a new
X200 is a bad idea, Core 2 Duos will never get microcode updates for Spectre
bugs.

In his defense, you did exactly that which you are accusing him of, not
providing "technical" arguments. "Oh look at this laptop which I've
apparently never used but I'd recommend you look into anyway."
"I hear they're quite nice, and are running coreboot straight from the

I spoke with Todd Weaver at LibrePlanet about running OpenBSD on Purism.
I suggested that the company install a bunch of operating systems and
post dmesg, but I don't think they have done that yet.
If I remember correctly, he also said he would be happy to provide
a refurbished laptop to a
No drm support for Kaveri in OpenBSD 6.3. There is support in current now so
6.4 should work better when it arrives.

Hmm. I have that one and there’s something fishy with the graphics, when I boot
the installer (6.3) I just get “static” on the built in screen. No problem with
any other OS. I just tried booting OpenBSD as a test so have not investigated
further, but consider it a potential issue, it might be

I'm quite happy with my Asus Zenbook 3 (UX390UA). It's thinner,

I use 6.3 on my T450S. Works great. Also have installed easily on the Dell
E7240 and E7440. I prefer the Thinkpad but the Dell is solid also. You can
probably get one of each for under $1000. Likely you will want to replace the
battery either way but all of these machines are available used
I love my DELL Latitude E7240 :-)

I myself have worn out a few thinkpads over the years, but my last couple of
laptops have been Clevo rebrands - local outfits tend to slap their own brands
on them,
Definitely second the ThinkPad recommendations. I have an X230i, bought used,
on which I currently run OpenBSD 6.3, and an E550 on which I've used OpenBSD in
the past; both run perfectly as of 6.2, except for the fingerprint reader on
the X (although to be fair I haven't tried that again
I would opt for a Thinkpad. Actually working with a T460s; runs like a
charm. If you are looking for mobility, a T series should fit. If you need
more horsepower take a look at P series.
Of course those are my preferences, YMMV!
