Reply to comment by ordinaryDrain in I may be forced to get a new laptop soon. I'm considering getting something more affordable, that runs smoothly with Linux, and covers my needs. Can you help me out? (Details inside) by An_Old_Big_Tree

They only ship to USA.

Actually, "libreboot" doesn't ship to anyone. libiquity is one seller of libreboot-preinstalled laptops run by a former developer that ships to USA only. libreboot's founder runs a separate seller called minifree that ships worldwide.

See https://libreboot.org/suppliers.html

): I've got most of my orders done. Financially I'm in the shit. I have just enough money to make shipments, for all my current orders, but not enough money to order more stock, or even to buy food. Therefore it'll be a while before Minifree can come back. This also means that if you've asked for a refund, currently I'm unable to provide one.

It's also not reasonable to recommend a 12 year old (at best) used laptop to someone looking to replace a high end macbook imo. Few people are going to want to spend hundreds on something that old, just to have libreboot.
