Nevermind it doesn't have a touch screen apparently.

The x220i (i think the i is the one with the touch screen, forgot the 
model variant - there is another non-touch model) would be your best 
choice if a touch screen is mandatory, it has ME although you can use ME 
cleaner to remove the significant bits which makes it slightly better 
and it has native ram init.

Coreboot on brand new laptops isn't actually coreboot like it used to 
be, it has been reduced to a pathetic vestige of its former self - 
simply a shim loader layer that does next to nothing besides get the 
purism phonies all excited for a "free" firmware laptop.
