Not the most powerful cpu, but for 12 inch laptop w/ Intel 5th gen, this is awesome! Really hope Libreboot tinkering with this laptop..

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The newest motherboard port to land in mainline Coreboot Git is for enabling the HP EliteBook 820 G2 laptop.

The HP 820 G2 shipped with various Intel 5th Gen Core CPU options, features a 12.5-inch display, and other basics for its time period.

The HP EliteBook 820 G2 has long been discontinued but remains available via used channels.

For example, a refurbished HP EliteBook 820 G2 is available via Amazon (affiliate link) for around $185 USD.
