Hi, every one. Just like mariiusz Im planing to by a 2012-2014 macbook air for qubes. Eric shelton describes his process of doing this.

These links are about two years old and Purism has made significant headway in that time. Wrong - both are still 100% accurate. "Headway" so what exactly? They still use FSP, they still have a blobbed EC, video, power etc and disabling ME is still not only impossible but illegal too. Their coreboot ports do zero hardware init all of it is done by Intel's FSP binary blob. It isn't as if it is impossible to make real freedom hardware but thanks to them the idea of a libre laptop has been ruined in the average persons head and the freedom hardware movement is set back by a decade or more - now everyone expects absolutely brand new x86_64 hardware instead of POWER, ARM, or older AMD x86_64 hardware and they also believe that you can disable ME and have real freedom on intel hardware. They could have admitted they fucked up and for instance collaborated with raptor engineering to offer a POWER laptop, but instead they continue to double down and keep making false claims.

It's more expensive, heavier and thicker. If Open Source BIOS and kill switches is secondary, then The Lenovo's are both hard rocking Qubes machines(and the qubes developer team uses the X1 Carbon). I've had a few issues with the Librem(bios, fan's ,etc), so be clear about your needs before purchase. If the Purism concept appeals to you, go for it. If not, don't. I even bought the Librem5 phone and await its arrival in a year or so, but I guess I'm just a fanboy.
