Re: [Trisquel-users] Compatibility for ThinkPad T500 2055

It can run Libreboot but it is a formidable installation process:  
https://libreboot.org/docs/hcl/t500.html. If you don't install Libreboot it  
is just a generic laptop with reasonable build quality. It probably comes  
with Intel wireless though which as far as I know cannot be replaced unless  
Coreboot or Libreboot are installed due to a component whitelist in the  
proprietary BIOS. I would only get it if you intend to install Libreboot or  
Coreboot, other than that you might as well just go to your local computer  
store. You might want to get a Thinkpad X60 or T60 for buttons as they can be  
flashed in software, if Libreboot is what you want.
