 ASUS Chromebook C201 support in libreboot
 issues:
* Needs blobs for video acceleration (in linux kernel) - optional, can do most things without acceleration * Needs blobs for wifi (in linux kernel) - optional, can use ar9271 usb dongle or similar
 advantages:
 * Free EC firmware
 * smaller than an X60, more portable
 * long battery life
 Disadvantages:
* No FSF endorsed distros available on ARM yet. Mark Weaver of Guix has expressed interest in porting Guix to these laptops * Libreboot will (for now) recommend Debian or Fedora, with blobs removed, for these laptops
 This uses the rockchip rk3288 SoC
there are many other laptops in coreboot that use the same SoC, so things are looking good btw, I didn't do this, talk to paulk if you have questions.... I need to get myself one of these laptops it's not RYF ready (probably won't be), but it's more free than an X60/X200 if you do without the video/wifi blobs (so, use linux-libre instead of linux)
 this is way more RMS-friendly than an X60/X200 :)

Kind of disappointed that I had to post this myself ;)
