You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.

    No the NV41MZ for example has no numpad. Its the compact 14in model which I would always choose for my tasks. Maybe not all, but it was the only clevo on like all Europes Ebay. Literally shipped it in from Great Britain

      That’s unfortunate.

      Honestly, I haven’t done a lot of business on Ebay. So, I don’t know a lot on how much cheaper you might get devices from there. Though, I wonder if it’s a lot cheaper than say this device.

        Damn good find! Not expensive, about double the price I paid but still very reasonable.

        Very funny, they have a Tux bootsplash logo in their Bios??

        And the BIOS really is great, I will miss that on Coreboot I guess. But all the necessary features should be there.
