I recently started selling Libreboot X280 on Minifree: https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-x280.html
This, alongside other ThinkPads that I sell. All with Libreboot preinstalled; Libreboot is free/open source software replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware, offering faster boot speeds, better security and better customisation. Same reason you'd use Linux instead of Windows; Libreboot gives you more freedom.
The X280 is similar to the T480, but it's smaller and much lighter. I'm selling it as a budget option for people who want something light that they can take on the road. I use one myself when I go out.
This comes alongside a current discount sale that I have on other models as well, and a recent expansion to the Libreboot Send-in Service; I also offer installation of other coreboot firmware, on request. Eg. MrChromebox on Chromebooks (UEFI coreboot firmware and you can use normal Linux/BSD).
I expect to begin shipping Libreboot X280 orders (placed in July 2026) from early to mid August 2026 onward.
