I cant comment much about that but i can give you another option.

modular cpu/brains floss laptop:

with open/libre eoma68 standard cpu card/module spec.

theres a possibility of a eoma68 mips cpu card but i believe its on hold
as it wasnt needed for fsf endorsement in the crowdfund (a20 card was
fsf endorsed). I wont be surprised if its finished and up for grabs at
some point in the future. lukes working on promising mini monster eoma68
cpu card for the 2rd cpu card to be released right now. or if someones
keen im sure he would be very very happy if someone would like to get
the mips card to production or finish any design work left(?) or even
just _sponsor it_. :)

or for something sooner you can use passthrough card with your mips dev
board of choice:

I made a pledge for the laptop so I be looking forward to getting mine
this year :)
