> Is an X200 laptop is a good purchase or are there better options?
It's the most powerful freedom-respecting computer you're going to get for
quite some time. So if power is what you want, then yes.
Otherwise, you may be interested in supporting EOMA68:

You forgot Think Penguin. That was the original one. ;)
Actually, I don't know if it's worthwhile to go out of your way to support
Minifree anymore. The person behind Minifree and Libreboot seems to be going
out of her way to distance herself from the FSF and anything connected to it,
and in doing so has decided to stop persuing RYF certification and start
shipping all of the laptops Minifree sells with Debian. The hardware is still
perfectly fine at the moment, though.
> The FSF does not list Tehnoetic's laptops on there RYF web page, yet they
appear to meet all the requirements.
That just seems to be because of a delay in RYF evaluation, the same reason
Minifree's laptops are still shown there even though they don't qualify for
RYF certification anymore.
