Cannot stress enough that you should use a computer exclusively dedicated to #Bitcoin and install #Libreboot open source BIOS on it: I have written a step-by-step guide on my website (below the link).
My top laptop recommendation is the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, but older models like the T430 or X230 also work great!

You left your camera lid down in the photo you snapped of your T480S ;) Opsec #1 there haha ๐งก
Oops, shame on me lol!!!
Happens to the best of us lol ๐คฃ
Was curious, T480 isn't compatible? Only a T480s? Sorry I don't understand if there is some kind of difference between the two machines I'm potentially missing?? ๐
Yes, the T480 is fully compatible, I just prefer the T480s as it is slimmer!
Long live the Chad-Chin lol. Thanks for the info :) 

I just happened to come across this note which led me to look into the libreboot FAQ that says the SPI flasher CH341A unmodified can damage the chip that's mentioned in the docs of the github I posted in my previous note.
I'm trying to determine if the article's claims of removing ME/PSP are accurate if using libreboot. I think it might be bypassing it rather than removing or disabling it which can only be done though a flash or physical modification.
