+# Ideas and work in progress
+
+## laptop-light
+
+Next laptop would be lighter -
+or similar weight but longer battery life
+(instead of more powerful).
+
+### Chromebook
+
+Chromebooks are laptop-ish machines to *only* run Google Chrome browser.
+
+Among Chromebooks using freedom-friendly hardware (e.g not NVIDIA)
+where core software is actively being developed (e.g. (supported)[] by Libreboot)
+one option looks readily usable:
+
+ * ASUS Chromebook C201PA (veyron speedy).
+
+Pros:
+ * Should work with Debian
+ * Maybe 10+ hours battery life
+ * Free bootloader
+ * Not prime suspect of NSA-crippled crypto chips
+ * Localized keyboard (for scandinavian, at least)
+
+Cons:
+ * Maybe too slow screen drawing (no hardware 3D graphics)
+ * Maybe too slow disk access (MicroSD storage)
+ * Maybe too low quality keyboard
+
+Availability:
+ * (Ministry of Freedom)[minifree]
+   * bootloader pre-flashed
+   * Likely UK keyboard
+   * Likely power supply w/ UK plug
+ * (Misc. danish webshops)[edbpriser]
+   * Need re-flashing bootloader
+   * Scandinavian keyboard
+   * Power supply w/ europlug
+
+(HiSense ChromeBook 11 seems similar in specification to ASUS Chromebook C201PA,
+but in unavailable in scandinavia).

+
+A few projects exists to create Open Source Hardware laptops,
+with one promising near-future option:
