Hi,
let's say goodbye to all Intel notebooks produced by OEM's which are not
Google ( Chromebooks ). Maybe the haswell/broadwell notebooks of Lenovo
without U/Y processor can be used ( Thinkpad tXX xXX ). It depends if
they are supporting Intel Boot Guard on the southbridge and if they are
locked down...

Hi,
new thinkpad's can't be used anymore for coreboot. Especially the U and
Y Intel CPU Series.
They come with Intel Boot Guard and you are won't be able to boot
anything which is unsigned and
not approved by OEM. This means the OEM are fusing SHA256 public key
hashes into the southbridge.
For more details take a look at Intel Boot Guard architecture. It could
be also confirmed by Secunet AG and Google.

That's scary to say the least. No more Thinkpads for us...
So the real question is: are there any AMD notebooks on the market with
similar build quality to the old IBM Thinkpads? I've about had enough
of Intel and their monopolistic ways.
