I am a little bit late but for future reference there are no wireless ac |
| 38 |
devices that have libre firmware, they all require blobs so do the USB 3 |
| 39 |
ports on that laptop. |

The intel wi-fi chips will never be freed either. |

4GB RAM and a crappy 5.4K 500gb drive was pathetic - in 2010. |

The best laptop choice is the lenovo G505S, which supports (real) |
| 45 |
coreboot, 16gb ram and is pre-AMD PSP (amds version of ME). |
