Hello, do you have open hardware indications?

Recently I searched for open hardware specifically for open hardware laptop or notebook. But what I found did not please me, I found three, pinebookpro, Teres-I and MNT reform. But they all have something in common the processor is not fully open source and the firmware is not open source either. If anyone here knows anything that is totally I would like to know.

I'm afraid I don't have any project to put on your list.

My biggest hope is around MNT reform putting a RISC-V module in their laptop sometime in the next 5 years.

Or maybe some other project builds a laptop around a successor of the HiFive Unleashed. https://www.crowdsupply.com/sifive/hifive-unleashed

The demand appears to be there.

Maybe the folks from SiFive just need to get a few more request for a small module that can be integrated into a laptop to actually crowd fund such a thing.

I even thought about buying a pinebook pro with Rockchip 3399 and if the Rockchip 3399 socket is the same as the FU540-C000 from sifive, I could change it.
