> The first high-end laptop that respects your privacy, security, and freedom.

Nowhere on the LibreTrend hardware portal does it actually state this. Nowhere
on their website could I actually find this tagline. If this is actually a
slogan used by LibreTrend, and you can show me where you found this, I will
join you in condemning it as bullshit.

I wasn't talking about the Purism Librem. I said that you were too quick to
condemn the LibreBox as a scam. They (to my knowledge) do not advertise
themselves as the aforementioned. They call the LibreBox a 'Free
Software-friendly' machine, which it is- just as much as Thinkpenguin. Nowhere
do they actually state that the LibreBox has 100% free software (although I
agree this is implied). They have not lied. I see no scam.

I don't like the project either, especially their recent deal with Ubuntu MATE.
This is misleading, and creates the impression that Ubuntu is a free operating
system. But Thinkpenguin offer the installation of non-free OSes as well, and,
though not as pernicious because at least there is choice, this has the same
potential to mislead. Furthermore, this does not contradict any of what
LibreTrend market the LibreBox as: a free OS compatible computer.
