   FUN FACT:
   By the way, I also made UK shipping free on Minifree laptops. These come with Libreboot, my free software BIOS/UEFI replacement that I founded in 2013. It offers nicer security and customization than most proprietary firmware; it's the same argument as running LInux instead of Windows. More control to users.

   Other shipping prices also reduced a bit. E.g. £60 to USA instead of £80.

   I recently also posted that I've expanded the send-in service; people can send me any coreboot-compatible computer, even non-Libreboot ones (other coreboot projects). I'm expanding that rapidly, offering MrChromebox UEFI coreboot firmware on Chromebook send-ins for example.

   My regular sales are ThinkPads with Libreboot pre-installed. Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or a BSD.

   I'm fully back on track with orders now, after coming back earlier this month (I was off sick in June). Back to normal.

   I'm Libreboot's founder and lead developer; sales fund the project.

     @mcrmonkey I don't really see the point in buying something from me that doesn't have coreboot on it. It'll take me ten minutes. Why not have me do it for you?

     If I wanted to buy devices off you that didn't have the firmware upgrade applied (so I can try and do it myself) would that be possible ?

     ( No expectation or requirement of any reduction in price )
