The Hornet laptop is driven by a powerful, open source, surveillance-free operating system: Linux Mint Cinnamon. Easy to use and full-featured, the operating system has privacy built into its core.

Equipped with a powerful yet energy efficient 12th generation Intel Core (Alder Lake) processor, but puts control back in users’ hands with Dasharo coreboot firmware. This high-end laptop is built to deliver the very best in performance. Every option we built into the Hornet was thoughtfully selected to protect your privacy in ways that other laptops don’t:

*Open source firmware code which disables the Intel Management Engine (IME). Backdoor? Closed!

*No camera and no microphone module included. Another spy avenue closed. (Add a detachable USB camera/microphone if needed)

*The Hornet includes the latest technologies: charging via USB-C, Thunderbolt 4, the latest Intel Xe Graphics chip, and a beautiful 14″ display with 90% sRGB.
