the Chrultrabook project is what youll wanna look into, but basically yes. You can reliably get new-ish hardware very cheaply and flash FOSS stuff like Coreboot onto it.
No idea why tbh. The equivalent laptops outside of ChromeOS’ ecosystem are usually much more locked down, to the point where the most powerful systems you’ll find being able to run Coreboot are decades-old thinkpads on 3rd gen mobile i5 and Kepler mGPUs.
I gave one step more to achieve the holy sanctity of FOSS hardware I bought a Thinkpad and flashed Libreboot in it. Waiting for the bless of Saint iGNUcius
now to get a chromebook with coreboot to really stick it to the anti FOSS demons
Just a passer-by: why a chromebook? Is their hardware less reliant on proprietary software?
Depends on which one but some are easier to install coreboot on
