Also forgot if to say if you need a laptop:
The Lenovo G505S with an AMD CPU:
Coreboot with open source init and a few blobs (graphics, fan and power
control) - no ME/PSP.
It is impossible to disable ME, no matter what some companies might say...
AMD PSP is AMD's version of ME present in the new AMD stuff - one has to
buy an older 2013 or before AMD x86 CPU to avoid it generally.
Todays options for *new* owner controlled performance hardware is POWER8
and 9 - x86 is dead and those who claim otherwise have no idea what
they're talking
Since the Management Engine (ME) is an Intel feature, can one avoid
its risk by just buying an AMD-based machine? Or does AMD have a
similar feature? Or lack some of the virualisation support Qubes
relies on?
Perhaps some other sort of machine altogether?
