As far as I can see, the T440p is the latest Thinkpad to support Coreboot/skulls.

If I wanted something newer (say, something from 2019-2022 or so) under $400, what could I even get? I want to run my own choice of linux distribution on it, so most chromebooks are out of the question (also I'd like something more powerful and upgradeable).

Thanks.

    I would like to see RISC-V to take off like x64 but I don't think that will happen anytime soon, and even if it does, there's nothing stopping the big chipmakers to put in an equivalent. Unless a company completely opens up access to their exact design/specifications (which would put them in a difficult spot since shell companies in China can take those designs and manufacture the same chips for a quarter of the price), something akin to ME/PSP will exist - at the behest of the powerful governments of the world
