Laptops with coreboot Support

Embedded controllers
The remaining issue with supporting netbooks may be open firmware support for the Embedded controller (EC).These ECs used to support keyboard scan, lid open/closed, battery charging, power management, etc.
coreboot should work with the 'stock' EC firmware. This may still be a challenge because 'we don't know what we don't know'. Behavior at runtime is fairly standardized, but we don't know what we need to do for initialization - do we need to set up registers, put in tables, kick things, or will it all Just Work (TM)?

This is not a list of coreboot supported laptops but rather chipsets, Super I/Os, flash chips, and especially embedded controllers used in a few laptops, just for reference purposes.

Mailinglist discussion
A few earlier coreboot discussions on laptops are linked here, you might get useful information out of them:
Who really makes your laptop?
There are several various brands of laptops, but there are only a few actual laptop makers.
Click on “Device Manager” from that list. Search for the Display driver from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer. Sims usb devices driver. Well, sounds like you either have a problematic USB device or you have a USB port, even if it's unused, that is going bad. So what kind of USB devices do you have plugged in? Could be your keyboard, mouse, your phone, what we call a 'thumb' or 'flash' drive, or something fancier than that. When you plug the device into your USB, Windows will look for the associated driver, if it cannot find this driver then you will be prompted to insert the driver disc that came with your device. Common USB Device errors are ‘ usb port not working ‘, ‘device descriptor request failed error’ or ‘bugcodeusbdriver’ issues. If drivers were not downloaded automatically by Windows Update, use Device Manager to refresh the driver from Windows Update, or contact the device manufacturer. I’m Moli, your virtual agent.

Name brand companies like Hewlet Packard, Compaq, IBM, Dell, Gateway, Sony, Micron, Toshiba and others; including Alienware and Voodoo do not make their own laptops. The exceptions are Asus and Apple, and even Apple doesn't make all of their laptops.
Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) make the laptops for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). They in turn, add their preloaded hard drives and sell them to consumers. This is why a laptop is a bit more complicated to support with coreboot. The OEM's may not even have all the specifications for the laptop since the ODM has done all the design and assembly.
