Why Would An OEM Sell A Coreboot Laptop

[@okashiromi5541]

The thing with messing with School property (especially the one relating to exams) is actually a pretty simple calculation. If no one catches, you're only gaining. However. How sure you are that no one will catch you? And how much are you screwed if they do? Bc in most cases. Unless you are 1000% sure you're good, it's not gonna be worth it.

Coreboot decreases boot time and lets the end-user customize the PC more than what stock UEFIs does.

ahh, you see, but then manufacturers can't persuade the masses to purchase new devices because "your firmware is outdated, and we are not patching new vulnerabilities"

macbook air is 100% solid state. I toss that sucker around, but only if its landing somewhere padded and won't collide with something else lol

(that and I paid for it, it's my own loss if I break it)

10 years ago I dropped one down a marble staircase. a few dents and scratches (which the school made me pay a small fee for) but that solid state they paid for really did it's job that day
