   might actually consider buying one of these if I really need a recent machine for whatever reason.
   
   Fully spec'd out how I want it (overcompensating on storage though), totals up to about $1.1k which is not too terrible

     @meso >System76 suck
     True, they use Intel CPU's that don't init without proprietary software, so you can't have freedom.
     
     @theorytoe >gimme a better recommendation then
     For a laptop you want a T400, or whatever works with libreboot-libre.
     
     For a desktop, the KGPE-D16 is your best bet if you need performance and don't mind not having suspend.

     @theorytoe I wish system 76 had a trackpoint equivelant, i'd probably get one if they did but I cannot live without it anymore

     @theorytoe What actually is the issue?
     
     I managed to brick my KGPE-D16 by overwriting the BMC software with 0's, but unbricking was as easy as desoldering the backdoor off the board as I should have done in the first place.
     
     @meso >what is a good affordable libre-friendly desktop. like a KGPE-D16 but cheaper
     The KCMA-D8?
     
     It's usually cheaper and it's much easier to mod a CPU cooler for it (AM3+ coolers with a bit of creativity are noted to work), but it does have some drawbacks, like needing a new enough revision.

     >T400
     already got dat one boi
     i am looking for a recent laptop that doesnt have ratpoop cores.
     
     while ratpoop laptops work fine for my purposes, if punches pull I may not be around my decently powerful system.
     thus the need for a recent laptop
