davetrying to figure out the most modern laptop I can get that doesn't require firmware blobs for gpu and wifi. a lot of laptop manufacturers, even ones that cater to linux people, are now shipping with 12th gen intel core cpus which require gpu firmware blobs. most laptops ship with intel wifi cards but it's not a blocker unless there's no way to swap it out with something else.
crodges@dthompson This is a question I'd like to answer too. Did you check amd laptops too? Also heard that Thinkpads nowadays are not the same as the days of old, hence stuff like soldered wifi/ram, bad keyboard and low repairability
@crodges I haven't researched laptops with any specific processors, I just revisited some familiar territory: thinkpads, librem, system76, and framework. thinkpads are definitely not built like they used to be. the push to make laptops thinner has destroyed repairability and upgradability.
