## AI overview

Libreboot removed support for the ThinkPad X201 and other older Arrandale machines after discovering that fan controls fail when using a neutered Intel ME image. Coreboot remains possible with the full Intel ME image, but Libreboot will not support these platforms unless further testing resolves the issue.
