I wouldn't look at the mouth of a gifted horse. Their closed source binary is not huge.

Also I don't worry about updates. Why would I connect my notebook to the Internet anyway? I just don't install them.

I guess it's a matter of time before fully open source display drivers are available and I can do my part too to make it happen.

When it happens I will have an ownable very nice, thin and responsible e-notebook. It will never be connected to the Internet and I will patch it myself if I will happen to want a new feature.

Maybe you are right and it could be more FOSS than it is, but in a world where you don't really own anything valuable anymore I am so elated about the hackability of this device that I'll take a bit of tinkering with binary files.

You can disable automatic updates, too. This way you can still connect.
