Great news from the FSF. You can get a laptop now that probably isn't backdoored by the NSA:

Quote
When a user purchases a product that bears the Respects Your Freedom certification mark, they can be confident they are receiving a product that comes with a free boot program and OS, as well as documentation under free licenses, multimedia unencumbered by proprietary formats, and the assurance it is not known to contain any backdoors and is not designed to share users' information without their knowledge (e.g. spyware).

More info from the FSF: http://www.fsf.org/news/gluglug-x60-laptop-now-certified-to-respect-your-freedom

Buy it here: http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/product/ibm-lenovo-thinkpad-x60-coreboot/

It's not even that expensive. I will probably be getting one of these at some point and moving my wallets onto it.

Watch out for the peripherals you use it with of course. (See the NSA article linked above)

Bitcoin is one piece of a larger puzzle to promote liberty, prosperity and democracy.

While FSF does good things for software freedom, those guys aren't known for being neither great hardware experts, nor great crypto experts.
