I don't like that article because they shill for purism at the end.
Nothing that purism does is special they're just an overpriced quanta laptop that they ran someone elses tools on - they'll never figure out how to really disable ME because it can't be done.
I can't understand why they didn't just go with a realistic option that can be free such as FM2.

This particular hole, perhaps. Do we know that "cleansing" the ME doesn't simply introduce a bigger hole? Why are the non-removable bits so heavily obfuscated, anyway?
It is disturbing that intel is so evasive on the ME question, why is it present on every platform even consumer ones that lack remote management anyway? (besides the DRM stuff no one uses like PAVP)
The ME is bad news from a security perspective, period. Security conscious organisations, or those handling high value data, should not be using Intel products (unless perhaps they have a signed financial guarantee of data privacy and integrity from Intel...)
