Appreciate your insight very much. I know little about security and I have a hard time telling if the Intel ME scare is horseshit or not.
Agree that any non-open firmware has to be trusted. What I really don't get is why they insist on pushing that "remote management" technology to ALL their chips when it would only make sense in a few enterprise settings.
Ok no vPro so this rules out the X1.
What are your thoughts on Apple M series SoC from a security standpoint? I really like their hardware but I'm fed up of their software.

Apple devices are extremely secure with well designed hardware and have a lockdown mode which was made to combat sophisticated threats after the whole Pegasus situation with iPhones. Big issue is that you have to basically use their services and there's no avoiding it.
