There is a fully free software laptop with free software BIOS, firmware, driver, kernel, software, operating system. It is called Lemote Yeeloong. You can see it here:

The gNewSenseToMips group just ported gNewSense to the mipsel architecture to make it run on the Yeeloong. A forum member posted the output of lspci here: http://www.lemote.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=19271&extra=page%3D1
Has anyone used this? Could this be a good candidate for coreboot?

Neat laptop. I'd say Coreboot probably isn't the right choice, however, since Coreboot is mostly targeted at x86/x86-64 these days. I wasn't able to find where to download the firmware for this laptop, but it likely uses U-Boot, which is a great free firmware core.
With or without Coreboot, it's definitely nice to see more FOSS friendly laptops out there!
it is MIPS based cpu...
