I'm thinking of getting a new laptop which uses Coreboot. The reason is that I'm into FOSS and would also like to not have IME installed. Currently I'm looking at Starlabs' Starbook, which can optionally be bought with Coreboot.

Can anyone help me evaluate it? I would likely use Debian 12 as my OS.

Many thanks

    I believe System76 laptops come with Coreboot installed, or at least have it available as an option. Seems nice to have the vendor support versus hoping and praying that your hardware will work with it.

    I am using Coreboot on a HP Chromebook that runs Debian 12 + Xfce. So far, I have not run into any issues.

    Full disclaimer: My overall needs for this machine are very light/basic.
