If you’re in Europe or in the UK, and if you choose to NOT have coreboot, you can buy for half the price from PCSpecialist. I’ve been using them since 2020, totally recommend. The model that I had (Lafite pro 14) with an identical CPU, twice as much memory as reviewed (64Gb) costed just over 1k EUR in 2024. The build quality is very good.

But again, it won’t have coreboot, which is a significant downside. So I’m not saying anything against the reviewed notebook.
