Forgot to say:
Purism is just an overpriced quanta/oem whitebox laptop, it takes 5mil+
of startup funds to do a small run of *just a motherboard* let alone an
entire laptop computer including the fab for a fancy aluminum case - it
is quite obvious that their components are not "hand selected" and that
they just called up some chinese OEM and asked them what they had
kicking around.
I can't understand if they are scammers or just really naive, Instead of
making an OpenPower or ARM laptop and having it be 100% libre from the
start they instead do the dishonest "you'll go to disneyworld one day
poor johnny" - If google can't convince intel to open up FSP/ME then
nobody can - coreboot with FSP is just shimboot (black box FSP - 95% of
the bios work)
It bothers me quite a lot that they are on the list of approved vendors
when they are a dishonest company.
