Introduction

Nowadays, some laptops are able to run only free software.

This means that they are not "just" able to run 100% free software distributions: they go way beyong that.

What initialises the hardware before loading the operating system(like a fully free distribution) is software.

This software can have many names (BIOS, EFI, UEFI etc...).

Free software initialisation code, along with a 100% free operating sytem, and peripherals that work with free software can result in a 100% free system on some laptops.

Laptop that can be 100% free

Bad for freedom
