I wonder about the software though.
- What kind of BIOS does it have?
- Does it support coreboot?
- Can Intel Management Engine be disabled?
I was looking for something similar recently and have found StarBook MK V - https://starlabs.systems/pages/starbook https://starlabs.systems/pages/starbook.
It supports coreboot and has most of Intel Management Engine voided.
It's repairability looks good too:

- jonatron 5y agoCtrl+f for the first two questions
- mateuszf 5y agoOk, seems that the BIOS is proprietary, but they're planning to support coreboot in future.
- user_agent 5y agoRegardless of the questions stated, thank you for mentioning Starlabs Systems, @mateuszf. I’ll be looking for an Intel-ME-free laptop during my next purchase and I had no idea about that particular project.
