Free Software Friendly Hardware :)

Few years back when i gave a talk on free software, one of the guys in the crowd asked me don’t you have free hardware? I had to just justify with OpenBIOS. But we have growing list today It was a long wait to have a clean hardware with out binary blob its freedom included which is providing a decent laptop at $449.00 in and out of US, yes no shipping charges! With copyleft boot firmware (bios) with this one can proudly say he loves free software and supports it with its hardware.
