ARM doesn't have anything like the Management Engine. It has TrustZone, but that's basically just a hypervisor-like mode that some manufacturers use to run software above the OS level.

For an open laptop such as Bunnie's Novena, ARM is a fine choice. For Raptor Engineering's Talos Secure Workstation, OpenPOWER was a better fit.
