Thanks, it's just that they are a bit expensive. But I'll look towards the second-hand market.
That extra money is what pays for that and other improvements. It would be cheaper for them to use an AMI BIOS.
I agree
You can ask on the System76 subreddit
Thanks, will do
system76 laptops?
I think Raptor Computing Systems hardware supports coreboot. It's not Intel and not cheap, though.
MSI Z690-A sporting 12 gen would do.
Thanks, I recently heard of this myself. I'll take a look
While it doesn't satisfy the "under $400"-condition, I couldn't withhold myself from mentioning the likes of NovaCustom and Tuxedo. For the fact that both have been absent from the conversation while they otherwise satisfy the requirement of coreboot on a modern device. With the former, NovaCustom, being arguably the best vendor to buy 'privacy&security'-first devices with modern hardware from. Not for their entire line -mind you- but specifically their NV41 Series; which is -to my knowledge- the only Qubes-certified computer with modern specs and Heads. However (with Qubes and Heads pre-installed) it starts at $1224, which makes it considerably more expensive that your stated target (read: under $400).
