In the interest of not starting a big argument again this will by my last reply on this thread.

Certainly not for the price they are charging, for $2K one could buy 5 Lenovo G505S laptops which are owner controlled with no ME/PSP, an open source init process (no FSP) or hardware code signing enforcement.
«the LibreM contains a proprietary BIOS»

   Wrong.  I already wrote about it but I see your pathological hate for
anything other than Talos/IBM is just too strong, facts cannot stop you from
spreading lies:
I don't like IBM, but I accept that POWER is the best option and their marketing of it is honest. I don't like purism and will never support them until they change their marketing to be actually honest and stop pretending that they can make free an intel CPU some vague time in the future.

Can I buy a Librem with a proprietary BIOS/UEFI?

No. We ship with the free software firmware coreboot. We don’t ship Librem 13
or Librem 15 with any proprietary BIOS/UEFI.
It isn't libre and it isn't free software as the hardware and memory init process is entirely done by Intel's FSP binary blob.
They call their laptops the "LibreM" - what is libre about them?

Fail to include the ME firmware binary in the firmware and your purism laptop will shut down in 30 minutes "disabled"
