Unless we want free boot firmware, we should choose option 2, boycott Apple and Lenovo. If we want free boot firmware, we need laptops similar to ones for which hard reverse engineering work was done, like Lenovo X60 or the Apple laptop using similar chips.
A modified Lenovo laptop being the only FSF-endorsed one isn't good. I think it will motivate people to get X60 for use with the proprietary BIOS (and wifi whitelist) or newer Lenovo laptops with proprietary BIOS and AMT. Users already buy AMD systems after reading the FSF page on how Intel opposes free boot firmware (and get the usual graphics issues due to missing blobs). Currently no solution is much better than others, much work is needed to change this, probably via reverse engineering for non-Intel systems.
