Since I'm completely surprised by this project and very attracted to it I thought it was best to google around for some perspective. Found this http://www.pcworld.com/article/2960524/laptop-computers/why-...

Among other things. My first question was, is the hardware open? Couldn't find an answer to that.

Edit: Apparently revision 2 of Purism will possibly have Coreboot.

Also worth noting is the Novena, which has similar goals: https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/novena

Novena contains 4x Cortex A9 CPU, thet is much less power and not enough power for more serious work :(

We use Novenas as build slaves in GNU Guix's build farm and they work well. Is that not serious work?
