Willing to buy a high-end, free-software-only laptop?

  2007-07-13 13:00:04
With projects like Gobuntu and gNewSense aiming to provide a platform that is zealous about free software, the obvious question is 'where can I run it?' . Pretty much any laptop you can buy today needs some sort of non-free bits to make the most of its hardware. Right now, software freedom isn't a huge priority for most of the companies that make up components for the PC and laptop industry. To that end I'd like to build upa list of people would potentially buy a high-powered laptop if it were guaranteed to work completely with free software drivers and OpenBIOS.
