If being fully free is a goal - which I don't think it ought to be, but if
it is - then we have 1 clear winner.

I have a 10 year old IBM x200 from gluglug, that runs libreboot and
trisquel and thus it has absolutely  no proprietary software, firmware or
blobs installed when I bought it, but since I used it there is some now
inside the browser js cache.

I think the CPU microcode updates are turned if too, im not sure.
