[Arm-netbook] 15in laptop LCD up on PCB1

[Nico Rikken]

Great to see further progress. Keep it up!

At the Dutch T-Dose conference had a couple of visitors at the
FSFE-booth mentioning how great it would be if finally a totally free
laptop would become available. Have referred them to this project
because this seems the only sensible approach to reach this ultimate end
goal, and because it shows just how difficult it is to achieve this goal
in a voluntary effort. Getting a fully free laptop is certainly easier
set then done.

Furthermore I couldn't help but notice that one of the most restricted
laptops in the world is being used to create the most free laptop in the
world.
