I wonder if that's working for them as a core selling point. Does having an open firmware really steer people into buying one of these laptops?
I'm curious to hear from an actual buyer on why they purchased that laptop when there are so many linux friendly options available.
For web dev I've been running ubuntu on a virtualbox on my macbook pro for years. It's pretty much just as fast as my fully specced out desktop.
Consider the fact that hardware wise they seem to be seriously lacking. All of their laptops have a 1920x1080 display. My 6 year old macbook has a 2880x1800 display. 6 years old!
There are a ton of linux friendly options on the market now with 4k displays and even OLED displays.
