[Trisquel-users] Re : Librem 15: A Free/Libre and Open Source Laptop That Respects Your Essential Freedoms

[lcerf]

I still did not understand if it is certain that the Librem 15 will use  
CoreBoot or if Todd Weaver only hopes to convince Intel to make CoreBoot work  
on the chosen motherboard.

If it will not use CoreBoot, then there is not much difference with a cheap  
laptop with an Intel graphical chipset + a freedom-respecting Wifi adapter.  
You would indeed have great trouble finding out what Wifi chipset that comes  
with a (new) laptop. You should then consider it as an additional cost on top  
of that of the laptop (unless you are "feeling lucky"). You can buy such an  
adapter from ThinkPenguin or Tehnoetic and be sure it will work with  
Linux-libre, hence Trisquel. Anyway the cost of the separate adapter is kind  
of negligible w.r.t. that of the rest of the hardware.
