The update will come to existing laptops and any new laptops bought will have it disabled by default.

3dpd is fucking disgusting holy shit

Special version for you user

>implying it can be disabled

now we're talking

Is this the end of the thinkpad meme ?

I mean... there is nothing wrong with being a poorfag and a freetard, but bot all freetard are poorfags its good ti have a high end libreboot option

fuck *not not bot

I would honestly like for the x220 to be librebooted because it has an i series CPU and i can use much more power software like video editors with no problem.(plus most distros are dropping 32bit support)

Core 2 Duo is 64 bit

now they just need quad cores

And it's a good series(i still have a pc with that) but i want to edit videos and make animations in a respectable framerate and resolution.

...

I'm assuming if I order one of these it gets intercepted in transit and owned, right?

>high end libreboot option
>high end
that shitty ulv i7 is barely faster than the X230 i5 while having worse single core performance, both laptops get around the same battery life too if the x230 has the 9-cell battery

Buy it in person, or disassemble and re-flash all the firmware.

> intel ME completely disabled
Will they care to share the sikrit method? Or is is it only for "leet Purism laptops"?

>how to spot a neckbeard

i want to fug 2b

It literally says they use coreboot. Something Thinkpads already have access to.

So now stallman can finally replace his x60?

Will their means of disabling intel ME be explained so I can do this on my own laptop?

>no touchscreen
>no 360 hinge
>dual core

So close to perfection, but that last one is a deal breaker desu

X230 has a terrible keyboard though

but it has the x220 keyboard

Just install the x220 keyboard.

You can't retrofit indicator lights and a sane screen resolution though

>a sane screen resolution though
Define sane.
>768p
You can install both FHD and 2K screens in the x230.
>16:10/4:3
No one produces 16:10 or 4:3 screens nowadays.

Where does Apple, NEC, Dell, etc. get their panels then? Outer space?

Who makes the 1440x900 panel in the mba

>how do markets work

t. unpaid lenovo shill

Where's the cute feet?

Know how I know you never leave your parents house?

Only 2D 2B though

No because it still has blobs, including part of ME because the CPU will halt if it's not detected. It's just neutralized - basically it's corrupted so it just crashes but it still passes the check. Also most of it's removed including the netcode so it can't botnet you.

In other words, this is good for securityfags but it's not good enough for Stallman-level freefags

didnt they use signatures to prevent tampering of things like me and microcode updates?

>this is good for securityfags but it's not good enough for Stallman-level freefags

This is awful because the computer can never be fsf approved

Yes but only the first couple blocks. They (fortunately) half assed it

See

>wanting a touch screen on a laptop
>wanting a 360 hinge
Dual core is a deal breaker for sure though.
