* COMES WITH CHARGER / GOOD BATTERY / STORAGE]

BONUS: Comes With Open Source Coreboot (Skulls) BIOS (desired extra service free: included In Price)

Coreboot (skulls) means faster boot times and no stock BIOS problems (lookup the history of "BIOS backdoors" in supply chain, to understand why you may prefer a Coreboot laptop instead of stock BIOS)

IntelME disabled inside Coreboot settings (additional Coreboot laptop options will arrive on store)

* Default Intel WiFi Card REMOVED & REPLACED By Open Source Atheros WiFi card (Internal)

* Happy To Encrypt Linux Install (on Brand New 1Terabyte Drive Included)

UPDATE: Boot Linux On [ BRAND NEW - never used ] 1000GB Internal Drive (preinstalled) - also tested fault free with drive testing software for reliability (never used prior)

Also Nice Option For Tails Linux USB (See Listing If You Would Like To Add This)
