AKA refurbished Lenovo hardware?


Yes, with BIOS replaced with free software and wi-fi card replaced with a freedom-respecting one. I do not see any problems in that.


I dislike how it does not do microcode updates though.


You could certainly do the microcode updates yourself.


Which would involve needing to reinstall the OS, or at least the kernel, because Trisquel strips out the kernel drivers needed to update the microcode.
