The primary objection to the Libreboot-enabled Lenovos, aside from dated specs, lack of backlit keyboard, lack of trackpad in the X200, and lack of USB 3, is clunky, ugly design. It's just embarrassing to be seen with such a brutally ugly machine.

The MacBook 2,1 and the Acer ChromeBook have other flaws not present in the Lenovos (the Macbook's webcam won't work in freedom, and the ChromeBook needs a wifi dongle), but at least they're sleek and attractive, by comparison. There's got to be a market for that, otherwise Purism wouldn't be selling any units.
