Your news is old. The latest hardware revisions of the 13 and 15 inch
models will ship with coreboot:
Wrong, their "coreboot" is simply a shim loader layer and their laptops
are simple quanta rebrands - that post goes over this.
What they have isn't "open source firmware" as all the hardware init is
done by Intel FSP binary blob, you might as well just buy a dell as
you'd be getting a system just as free.
I can't understand as to why so many have bought in to the claims by
purism of "that is the best we can do" as that simply isn't true - it is
entirely possible to have a 100% libre laptop with the amount of money
that they raised but then they wouldn't be making so much profit as
they'd actually have to pay hardware devs rather than simply rebranding
OEM laptops.
