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:
http://www.lemote.com/english/yeeloong.html
More pics here: http://www.sorbaioli.org/photos/lemote_yeeloong/
and buy it here: www.tekmote.nl
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!

There are several ARM Cortex A8 SOC laptops shipping soon that use the TI OMAP 3530 http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/omap3530.html
or Freescale i.MX515 http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX515&n...
Always Innovating Touch Book - to ship in late Spring, starts at $300 http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9011409662.html
Freescale touts Android on ARM netbook design http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3522920675.html
They use u-boot and are almost all open source except for the powerVR GPU libraries. http://www.imgtec.com/PowerVR/powervr-graphics.asp
I've heard that Nokia is trying to get Imagination Technologies to open source the libs.

It's using PMON2000, actually. The source tree for this laptop is at
http://dev.lemote.com/git?p=pmon.git;a=summary
Here's their trac page:

Absolutely!
Thanks, Ward.

I know of at least one coreboot developer who wrote parts (or all?) of a Loongson/Godson firmware.
