Check the asus c201, it is a librebooted laptop with every driver that is open source (except GPU and Wifi dongle, but both aren't vital)
Perfect laptop OEM?

I WANT A PDA WITH A HARDWARE KEYBOARD AND FREE DRIVERS
Is such a thing possible, and am I allowed to dream about it?

Still not RYF certified
I don't trust them.
They have blatantly lied more than once.
They promised that the ME would be removed completely without being sure that they could.
They did made an effort to "neutralise" it (to say that most of it seems to not work but without guaranty) but I still won't trust any hardware that isn't released has free from the beginning.
aka only hardware like this:

Been trying for a long while. Beaglebone, odroids, pinebook. It's just not there yet.
The pinebook is too flimsy. Bad keyboard. Low volume output. Crude trackpad. Too slow for use as a daily driver. Good value for the price, and cute/shiny, but it's quite limited.

This. Just looked it up, as I also like the idea of getting away from Intel, and its only 1.2 GHz? That can't be right. I mean even the Libreboot Thinkpads are at 2.26 at the minimum, and support 8GB of RAM.
I can see TALOS II being a great choice for an alternative architecture on the desktop, and compatibility won't be a problem, as distros such as Debian and Fedora have full support for it.
On the subject of purism, I think we really need to take a look at this page. It looks like they want to have up-to-date hardware, while sticking to a roadmap that eventually leads a Fully, 100% free computer. It also shows where they are at this point

I'm really looking forward to puri.sm's tablet, when that's released. Dell's 2016 XPS12 was wonderful except for generally crashiness and oh an instant KP if you tried to put it to sleep. Thanks Broadcom! With a tablet I'm also not expecting it to be great at gaymes, which is the reason I'm less interested in purism's other stuff.

It's technically possible but it's not going to be mass produced. The closest thing you can do is either build one from an Arduino or RISC V.

This is what I've been considering lately. An Orange Pi PC with adapter and a tiny screen would make a cute frugal diy setup for like 60 bucks.
Jack Jenkins
Aren't Pi's full of closed source firmware?

Might as well be a Macfag
