The Asus C201 with Libreboot[1] should come very close to meeting your requirements. There is still some progress to be made on the GPU driver, but it's a usable system.

Thanks, how is the situation with the GPU on that device? Open source kernel&2D drivers, and binary blob for 3D driver?


Sadly yes. Mali is half finished, but it stalled.

However, with 2D drivers things are quite OK. This is a humble machine, so 3D acceleration is not that useful.


Lima seems dead. Meanwhile Freedreno has been getting active development for years. Where are all the Snapdragon Chromebooks?
