GNU+Linux laptops with Libreboot preinstalled, based on coreboot
I love my T440p, and as a Linux machine it&#x27;s great. But full disclosure, it&#x27;s not perfect, a few drawbacks to be aware of:<p>* Batteries can be hard to find, and they last 6 hours at most.<p>* No USB-C docking capabilities (but you can use the old dock that uses the weird port under the laptop). Weirdly enough you can mod it to charge with a USB-C PD cable instead of the thinkpad one.<p>* The iGPU is slow by today&#x27;s standards.<p>* The keyboard is okay, but was a downgrade from the T420 (aka the old IBM layout).<p>* VS the T430, you don&#x27;t have a way to connect a plugable PCI-e port.<p>* The default screen it&#x27;s horrible (but can be upgraded to a nice IPS full hd panel for not that much).<p>If you&#x27;re okay with that, despite its age it&#x27;s a great machine, the CPU it&#x27;s ok for most tasks, and gives you a chance to have an amazing control in your system from OS to BIOS (or well, as close as you can get without digging the full rabbit hole that are firmwares for other components).<p>I say if you only look for bang for the buck... this it&#x27;s not a machine for you, but it&#x27;s more if you want a OSS community backed laptop, this it&#x27;s the one for you in case you don&#x27;t like the framework laptops.
