I don't believe so.

You can free a laptop of proprietary software with enough know how.

Freedom silicon is direly needed.

System 76 makes a good effort

Look forward to the day they design and ship their own hardware on the laptop side of things.

Depends what you mean by “FOSS Laptop”

FOSS OS: easy— you can put Linux on most computers, even old Chromebooks

FOSS Firmware: Some (eg system 76)

FOSS Silicon: Unsure/limited if you want to avoid proprietary hardware like Intel processors

Really good suggestion but AFAIK it still runs proprietary firmware and doesn't allow disabling Intel ME
