I feel inclined to mention that, while there is not a completely free OS for it (GNU/Linux with mainline Linux is used), the OpenPandora mostly gets the hardware fine. It's only dependent on nonfree software for 3D and WiFi (and the WiFi is easily solved if you just get a USB 2.0 Wifi dongle that works without nonfree software). So, basically about the same as a lot of mainstream laptops (not great, but not as bad as cell phones). Someone just needs to port a completely free OS to it like Dragora, and it would be good to go (unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge of how to do this myself).

I went into more detail in a blog post:
