Aye, I’ve been looking around at different laptops that run and work with Linux-libre.
Purism seems to take the cake for modern compatible laptops (h-node scores).
However, I was curious if somebody could help explain how the models have changed over time.
There is a fairly under-filled Wikipedia page for this: /wiki/Purism_(company)#Comparison_of_laptops
Especially for users like me who mainly work through a web browser and might be considering purchasing a used machine.
v4 seems to be documented fairly well. However, v3, v2, and v1 appear to have little coverage on how they changed from the previous models.
In theory, that info should be here https://wiki.puri.sm/hw
Unfortunately not in good shape.
v2: TPM optional
v3+: TPM always
CPUs vary, RAM and storage are of course always user configured. Other than that I don’t think there are very important differences.
that’s incorrect, and the wikipedia page is badly out of date / contains multiple inaccuracies. the 13v1 initially shipped with AMI firmware, and coreboot was made available later on, but the ME was always disabled with the 13v1 coreboot firmware. The linked blog post only relates to the 13v2, not the 13v1.
