It has been on our radar for quite some time. A lot of it has to do with formalizing the criteria from which people should do their research. There also has been some opposition on the basis that we are not primarily a hardware-oriented website.
There are so many questions that could go into this category with room for endless debate. For example, should we require webcam/microphone kill switches? How about Linux support? To what extent should we encourage these vendors over hardening your pre-existing laptop.
A similar discussion has been made here about desktop hardware recommendations.
I won’t speak for the entire team, but I have observed a few staff members being skeptical with Intel ME/AMD PSP being a major concern in the first place. While hypothetical security concerns are important, I think our mission revolves more around practical privacy protections first. Then again, this debate has been discussed on this forum previously
But what I can confirm is that Intel ME/AMD PSP is not the reason why we haven’t recommended anything yet. But I’m sure it can be a topic for future discussion if the community does desire laptop/desktop recommendations.
