I think the Lemote Yeeloong would fit most or all of the above. At least it has free wifi, ethernet, video, and BIOS.

That's great! I was unaware that such a freedom-supporting laptop was available for sale. Clearly it could use more prominent mention whenever people talk about non-freeness of firmware.
I do wonder about its card reader, keyboard, and touchpad, however...
And I'm *sure* its Hard Drive has non-free firmware in it. They could fix that part, at least, by putting raw flash chips in instead, and using one of Linux's raw-flash filesystems like JFFS2 or UBIFS.
