It has one tiny blob for ram initialization, people are looking into removing it. It may become RYF certified. Freedom wise, it is the best modern laptop.

- marcodiego 5y agoBetter than the pinebook pro?
- r283492 5y agoYes. Pinebook pro has one or more other blobs and they are for more significant functionality.
- marcodiego 5y agoHmmm... I like RK3399-based devices because they need very few blobs. Would you mind to list which blobs the pinebook pro needs?

- marcodiego 5y agoThe imx.8 can't even initialize RAM without blobs. If it comes with a modern WiFi it will need blobs too. Don't know the details about the display, but I don't think it affects all RK3399 devices.
