Looking at it entirely from a freedom perspective, the machine uses a
non-free BIOS from Phoenix. There are motherboards out there that
support a free BIOS while still meeting your power requirements.
For the various reasons outlined at [1] it is better to buy machines
with motherboards that support a free BIOS so that you're able to use
free software from top to bottom.
