=== Already existing computers === Supported by coreboot or libreboot and preferably based on AMD cpu: AMD added PSP backdoor later than the Intel added ME backdoor, so the latest AMD without PSP is more powerful than the latest Intel without ME LAPTOP - Lenovo G505S with A10-5750M quad core CPU Also, maybe HP Pavilion M6 1035DX if you have a chance - but it is a rare model, a bit worse than G505S both in hardware and freedom aspects ( for G505S there is a leaked schematics for its' LA-A091P motherboard, which improves the repairability as well as slightly raises its' "freedom" ; haven't heard about M6 1035DX schematics ) And nobody tried it for ages, so for the latest coreboot additional work may be needed WORKSTATION - something AMD based from libreboot list: https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/ ASUS KCMA-D8 , ASUS KFSN4-DRE , ASUS KGPE-D16 some of these boards could have issues with certain CPUs or memory modules, you need to read the libreboot website and look through the mailing list archives to ensure the best hardware compatibility while building a PC on such a mobo === New modern computers === If we need a powerful modern computer that at least tries to be free-as-in-freedom in software/hardware , and doesn't have Intel ME / AMD PSP , it must be POWER cpu based WORKSTATION - TALOS II - https://raptorcs.com/TALOSII/ very powerful hardware from a great company, available for pre orders LAPTOP - probably this one https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/ Currently they are doing a crowdfunding for schematics: https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/campaigns/electrical-schematics-notebook-powerpc-motherboard-donation-campaign/ TALOS II progress is more significant that laptop guys, but at least they are trying Best regards, Ivan Ivanov 2018-01-08 5:54 GMT+03:00 <[email protected]>: > > > On 01/08/2018 03:27 AM, Ivan Ivanov wrote: >> >> perhaps the only thing we could do is to stockpile those >> few computer models that are both coreboot (or libreboot) >> supported and without Intel ME / AMD PSP >> > Any hints on which models come into consideration? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > Google Groups "qubes-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/qubes-users/bqRSuU3T6MA/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-users/a17865f5-f98a-6638-5787-66b897424e8b%40rbox.co. > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
