SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/18/14 — Purism–s Librem 15 laptop will be the first to ship with a modern Intel CPU that is not locked down to require proprietary firmware, announced today by Purism. This marks one of the largest hurdles to a laptop that runs 100 percent free software and firmware.Purism–s Librem 15 will ship with an Intel CPU fused to run unsigned BIOS code, allowing a future where free software can replace the proprietary, digitally signed, BIOS binaries.Commentin
