That might be the nerdiest laptop I've seen, Jim. Well done. :-)

Just checking re "open hardware": you didn't really manage to find an
open hardware notebook did you? I'm happy that I now have choices [1]
for notebooks without Windows pre-installed [2], but getting "open" at
the bios or CPU level feels like a pipe dream.

[1]: e.g. pcspecialist.co.uk, which are based on Clevo machines, and are
assembled to order so offer a lot of component-level customization.
Including the OS.

[2]: Well, ironically, they install Windows to do the burn-in tests. So
the first job is still to wipe windows. But as I don't have a license
key, and didn't pay for it, I no longer feel obliged to set it up as
dual boot :-)
