Depends what you mean by "laptop". According to [1], the fastest processor that shipped with an X200 is the Intel T9600. Checking Geekbench, today's top-of-the-line 64-bit ARM phablets seem to have significantly higher CPU performance (both single and multi-core), and an equal amount of RAM. AFAIK, those devices don't have anything like Intel ME; they do typically have a hypervisor running above the Linux kernel, but it should be possible to replace it if the bootloader is unlocked. I think. If someone comes out with an ARM64 Chromebook in the near future, that might be a good device to target for fully-free system efforts.
