The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has
awarded its Respects Your Freedom (RYF) certification [fsf.org] to the
Taurinus X200 laptop [libiquity.com] sold by Libiquity. The RYF certification mark means that the product meets the FSF's standards in regard to users' freedom, control over the product, and privacy. The Taurinus X200 comes with the
fast and secure Libreboot firmware [libreboot.org] and the
FSF-endorsed Trisquel GNU/Linux operating system [trisquel.info]. Importantly,
Intel's Management Engine (ME) [libreboot.org] firmware with its applications like AMT (remote out-of-band management/backdoor system, part of "vPro") and PAVP (audio/video DRM) have been removed from this laptop. The laptop ships within the USA and may be purchased from the
Libiquity Store [libiquity.com].
