Hey everyone,
it would be great if thinkpinguin buys used notebook which are capable of
coreboot, installs everything and sells them for an appropriate price.
I think I would buy one.
Of course I'm aware I'm not the first one with this idea. But perhaps you can
tell me why it doesn't work.
For a normal person, buying a notebook and flashing the bios is a bit risky,
since there's the danger of making the device unusable if something goes
wrong.
A company could make a calculation and just raise the price of the working,
corebooted notebooks if x numbers of devices got bricked.
And after the first weeks, things might be just a routine.
Or is it a problem like "this notebook *might* use this bios or not"?
Perhaps notebooks that turn out to have the wrong chip can be sold again on
the normal market without big loss?
