I'm primary interested in it because of faster booting speed and in general getting rid off the stone-age functions vendor bios contains which are completely unnecessary to boot a modern x86-computer.
I don't mind if coreboot contains cpu microcode etc.
As far as I know the only total free computer is the X60.
But isn't this whole privacy issue more a topic for libreboot?

I'm going to buy a new laptop soon (has to have a touchscreen) and am considering buying one which supports coreboot.
Which model would that be?
From what the wiki tells me The X220 is supported best, thanks to Vladimir, but also the X201 is listed in the green area.
The wiki lists some noticeable issues for the X201, though. Still it's green. Are those issues (especially "The X201 immedeatly powers off after resuming from suspend resulting a completely lost session sometimes (Race condition)" still unsolved?
thx
The answer to this question also hinges on whether you would like a blob-free / owner controlled machine or are OK with most of the "heavy lifting" coming from non-libre vendor provided firmware binaries.
I ask because if you're wanting to use coreboot purely for libre reasons, then you're going to be stuck with much older technology.
Thanks!
