    Yea, this is just a Lenovo X200 w/ libreboot. The same old laptop that's been around for years and years, now with a crappy sticker over the windows key!

    Notebook designed and manufactured by Wistron Corporation, assembled by Lenovo Group Ltd., and modified by Libiquity LLC. Product contains a combination of new and refurbished parts.

    So it's a rebadged Thinkpad?

    I want freedom from ugly stickers on new laptops! I currently have to take a blow-dryer to remove them.

    Why the FSF loves these old ThinkPads

    - Trisquel GNU/Linux operating system.

    - The low-level firmware on the laptop was replaced.

    I just wish they would make something like this on newer hardware

    Because a Core Duo and GMA combo is the very definition of respecting freedom. ;)

    I love how they called it a "small ultraportable".

    Too bad 2GB has been unusable for a decade or so.
