I admit to not being much of a knowledgeable person. What I see is this.
That a modified version of the X230 is what what has passed the certification test. I feel if price was not an object, I would buy a Librem first. As I can not afford a Librem or the finished X230, I really have not studied, worried about it much. The X230 is modified by re-seller to include replacing some other internal hardware as well as changing the Intel Processor evil.
