hey /g/uise,
for some time i have been looking for a secure and mobile computer (aka laptop) for doing private stuff.
it's extremely important that there is no manufacturer bloat shit, i want to clean it completely and install some kind of linux, probably ubuntu for a start.
i don't want anything running in the background since it could work against my privacy and open up backdoors (which i don't like), i would also like it to be cheap (please nothing above 500€, even 400€ is a lot for me).
this is not a laptop for extremely illegal stuff, i just want some kind of private medium in the age of surveillance and data hoarding, especially since i can already smell them making it official in germany aswell.
since i know there are some tinfoil hat fanatics in here i think you /g/uys are the best to help me stay secure, thanks in advance!

Chromebook with coreboot flashed.
Many manufacturers offer bloatware free laptops (msi, dell, m$ signature ed...) They tend to be high end though.
>cheap, secure laptop
Look for those freedomized FSF approved chinkpads.
They are loaded with coreboot/libreboot

there is a good quote that pretty much sums it up:
"nothing is free, and if it is free, you're probably the product."
it applies to everything, if they can't take your money then they take others' money for your data.

thanks for your help and support for someone that is concerned for his privacy and interested in learning more.
your point of
>blah if you were capable blah you would already know
is just stupid.
why bash people that want to get better instead of helping them?
you don't have to be a dickhead
