Or perhaps more than a bit more ;) I see that the Librem 14 version 1 starts at $1470, for an i7 10710U, 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD, 14" 1920x1080 screen, no WLAN. I'm pretty sure you can do a whole lot better than that from the standard brands. > the better alternative from the POV of free software (you > support companies supporting free software, after all). Hey, if money is no object, and you want to go all the way down this route, you should consider the Blackbird (although I don't think they make laptops): https://www.osnews.com/story/133093/review-blackbird-secure-desktop-a-fully-open-source-modern-power9-workstation-without-any-proprietary-code/ Celejar
