All the same, I’d rather not take that chance and prefer MacOS. No need to downvote me just because you don’t think it’s an issue to be concerned about (security).
But wipe the SSD on the ThinkPad and install some Linux-based OS on it, and you're rocking and rolling. No weird phoning back to the mothership behaviors either. Again, I'm simply pointing out that you can be just as secure with a ThinkPad.
