With Dasharo coreboot firmware.
Fast, secure and open source.

Transparency and trust

Firmware, the laptop’s controlling software, is often shrouded in secrecy, especially with Chinese firmware being the default on most laptops. Trust in your laptop’s security begins with transparency – the source code. NovaCustom provides coreboot laptops with open-source, well-documented source code, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.

Security matters

UEFI-based firmware is essential today to ensure the overall security and integrity of modern computer systems. Firmware is responsible for the early boot process and the authorisation of internal components and software. Moreover, it can provide an excellent defence against evolving threats, which is crucial in the field of cyber security.

Minimalistic

Dasharo coreboot firmware embodies minimalism, translating into lightning-fast boot speeds. By eliminating superfluous components, it optimises system performance, delivering rapid, efficient startup times without compromising security or functionality.

Updateable

Seamless Dasharo updates not only enhance security, but also introduce new firmware features. These updates enrich your user experience and capabilities.

Privacy

Dasharo in combination with a GNU/Linux operating system forms an unbeatable collaboration. It prioritises user privacy and delivers steadfast data protection for a secure and confidential computing experience.

GNU/Linux

Dasharo’s out-of-the-box compatibility with GNU/Linux operating systems eliminates the need for additional drivers, ensuring a hassle-free experience for users.

Stops overheating

Most proprietary alternatives are designed to hit CPU temperatures of up to 90 °C. Dasharo avoids high CPU temperatures above 75 °C, which ensures long-term durability.

Improved fan policy

Dasharo offers a much better user experience due to lower fan speeds at acceptable CPU temperatures. Only when it is really necessary will the fan be audible.

Battery thresholds

Micro charging is a disaster for the battery. Dasharo firmware implements intelligent battery charge thresholds by default, which extends the lifespan of the battery.

Quality code from the European Union

Dasharo coreboot firmware is fully developed within the European Union. It embodies essential EU principles, advocating for quality, reliability, and security. Crafted to exacting standards, it ensures efficient device performance, instilling confidence in users who prioritise trustworthiness and privacy, mirroring the EU’s core principles.
