As far as I can see, the T440p is the latest Thinkpad to support Coreboot/skulls.

If I wanted something newer (say, something from 2019-2022 or so) under $400, what could I even get? I want to run my own choice of linux distribution on it, so most chromebooks are out of the question (also I’d like something more powerful and upgradeable).

Thanks.

    the architecture doesn’t contain something like Intel ME. but it’s MIT licensed and if Qualcomm, AMD or Intel decides to produce RISC-V chips they could (and probably will) use proprietary extensions and even include a ME-like coprocessor which locks down the whole thing.
