I’m thinking of getting a new laptop which uses Coreboot. The reason is that I’m into FOSS and would also like to not have IME installed. Currently I’m looking at Starlabs’ Starbook, which can optionally be bought with Coreboot.

Can anyone help me evaluate it? I would likely use Debian 12 as my OS.

Many thanks

    t430 with coreboot works pretty well, though you can’t do some things like flashing the embedded controller and some things like recalibration of the battery doesn’t work

    the boot speed is actually insane though, if you have grub as the payload and have it directly boot linux without a bios/uefi
