Leah is now selling the 820 G2 with Libreboot. Now you have another choice when it comes to a completely libre firmware. Intel management engine is neutered. This is the newest laptop supported by Libreboot.

Here is a detailed review about this laptop: https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-EliteBook-820-G2-Subnotebook-Review.144671.0.html

It's from 2015, there is a full HD screen version. IIRC there was a big performance step between intel 4th and 5th gen, this laptop is 5th gen. You can still buy new batteries for this model.

I doubt this is fully "free" like the X200, but this is still a major improvement. If anything, at least it won't have Intel ME built-in.
