Can you help me to find a reliable extended battery? Which brand, model etc.
did you buy?
Did you manage to flash your T400 yet?
Yeah, as a Briton, there might not be the awareness there of a brand that
Americans, especially rural ones, would know.
don't you care if it requires an external flashing? because if you will flash
libreboot by yourself, you have to be aware that some machines require
external hardware that you may not have.
Okay... I hope she doesn't get attacked by a lawsuit.
Though I also hope someone warns her about the possible ramifications...
Wasn't joking at all. While there are differences (the Libreboot stag is
going right rather than left, and its antler has fewer tines), but other than
that the resemblance is striking.
Just like John Deere, Libreboot's logo is a two dimensional, silhouetted male
deer, viewed from the
Was that a joke?
I am not entirely sure what you meant about being sued by John Deere.
I am assuming it is a joke?
This is how I feel about cartoony graphics usually.

New shop which selling X200 with LibreBoot.

Exactly.
I just wish it didn't load up that childish cartoon image by default. The
Libreboot logo is clean and attractive, although I don't know how they've
avoided being sued by John Deere yet.
Yeah, I just wish she would stop going after the gnu/fsf organizations
that's all.
Other than those two things, I will consider still supporting libreboot.
Besides, libreboot is still a good bios. :)
>If Leah figured out how to do it for the x220 maybe other intel second and
third generation processors will be figured out as well.
Leah kicks ass and rocks hard. I'm absolutely 100% positive she'll libreboot
the s... out of that lappy in no time.
(This is great news)
https://libreboot.org/faq/#intel kind of ruined my day.
Maybe my January 2010 desktop may not be too bad as it seems not to have the
ME installed at least. Probably one of the last to not get that technology.
MSI and Intel H57 Express Chipset.
IT does at this time. but there is a link I remember hardenedlinux or
something which has some kind of like information I think to disable the ME
in even third generation processors.
I dunno when it will be perfected for the purpose of libreboot, but give it a
few years and I am sure
Doesn't that information contradict with the option to install libreboot on
an quad-core Core i5-2410M CPU? Wasn't that released in 2011? The LB faq
says: "It is extremely unlikely that any post-2008 Intel hardware will ever
be supported in libreboot"
Is it pre 4th gen or 4th gen and onwards,
if it is before 4th gen then it may be a possibility in a few years.
I imagine someone will figure a way out by then...
Cannot say for sure.
I didn't look it up yet, but I am assuming it is new.
am I wrong?
So ThinkPads only work? A local PC recycling outfit has a bunch of impressive
looking ThinkCentre units with i5 cpus and something like 3.2 GHz for $169. -
Not librebootable?
I hope tehnoetic and libiquity know about this.
I was checking out eBay today and found an inexpensive librebooted X200, but
the fine print in the description set off some red flags. Flashing the BIOS
is beyond my expertise but not so far beyond my intellectual capacity to be
complete gobblydegook when I read the instructions.
Even
Hopefully, someone in your country will translate that potential difference
into a profit. I'm sorry to hear about all of those barriers. I have to
wonder how much a new computer costs there.
I am ordering a lot of stuff from Tehnoetic right now. While I agree the price
is pretty high, I think many people in this thread neglect how valuable
service, bug help and return policies can be. Before ordering from Tehnoetic I
bought a BBB, a Samsung S2 and an Asus C201 which, while
Guys,i was just browsing on MiniFree website and i seen that they have device
on pre order
https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-x220/
Price is over the top on my opinion,but i can not see the guide if i have
x220 on my own.Can someone explain me what is this all about,how can we find
I think that X60 would be good enough since i could try to pull off the LCD
screen and use keyboard only,for example something like commodore,and use
mounted monitor into the wall as a display.
Now i am not aware of which CPUs are compatible with Libreboot or with
specific Lenovo laptop
Let me explain about the pricing :
I am not within the states or the EU zone,so for example if Laptop with
LibreBoot cost 500$add extra 50$ for shipping,40$ taxes(in case of DHL for
customs)590$ total and on top of that 30% for import taxes to the
country.Just on taxes alone i would have
I don't have raspberry pi or beagleboard at the moment.
I don't think that procedure itself would be too hard,and yes power is
crucial for the device(CPU on board and RAM/SSD which i would upgrade later.)
I was happy to pay more than $500 for my X200, and the bar has been set very
low. $500 is not much more than I'd pay for a similar laptop at Walmart.
Yes, the system at Walmart may have a snappier CPU, but it's going to come
with Windows 10 which will only work for twelve hours a day.
I really hate how so many of these shops drive up the price of their
equipment. I know it takes time and effort to install these operating
systems, but the price they're asking for a Galazy S2 is insane when you can
buy them for almost 1/4 of the price elsewhere and install the OS yourself.
Don't forget about the 4 laptop models with free BIOS here:

I have a X200 that I found on eBay pre-installed with Libreboot. I also
purchased an extended battery and it gives me the best battery life of any
laptop I've ever owned!
It's really plenty fast for daily usage. Compiling sometimes bogs it down but
that is true of most computers in my
The X60 is one of the few models that can be flashed without external
hardware and most people would say that's easier than a hardware flash.
Other models must be taken apart and flashed with another computer like a
Beagle Bone. The Libreboot install page explains this in gruesome detail
Sadly, this method (extracting EDID) failed on one incompatible T60 panel I
tried (the screen did not produce valid EDID even when using non-free VGA
option ROM). Connecting an external monitor with usable graphics when using
that panel didn't work reliably, so I cannot recommend a T60 for
It's only my personal opinion.
I'm unsure from your question, 8bitDev, if you are able to flash by hardware
method - I can't talk about that.
I have flashed a T60 being absolutely not very hackerish. The guides are at
some points a bit confusing, but with patience and help (e.g. here), it's
really easy.
Remember that
In which sense? Objectively or subjectively?
Aloniv earlier directed me to this nice trick that should work on many but
not all machines

For the X60s it seems all panels are compatible (at least according to the
Libreboot link provided). The T60 however has incompatible panels.
If you get an x60 or x60s it must have the right lcd screen.

Pretty hard to find out before you get it.
X200 is the best!

Okay... hmm. Well then x60 is one that would be easy due to not requiring any
opening of the computer... but if you want more advice, then I will respond
to bump so you will get help.
ps, IF you want a faster computer than the x60 or x60s, you may want to ask
others in any case here is a
I will be using it more as a desktop PC rather than a laptop so battery does
not matter,the same as the screen size.
Taking it out,probably on crucial times so battery life,screen size would not
matter.
What would matter is docking station for additional inputs,express card if
usable in
X60 and X60s are the easiest I think according to what Leah said once.
sadly though they have slightly less battery life.
Hi
I am interested to buy one of the Lenovo laptops that are LibreBoot
compatible.I can not afford pre loaded laptops as they are usually more
expensive and due to such large price import taxes are in mind.Just paying
for taxes would cost me like the laptop itself purchased from amazon.com
