I’ve been looking into ASUS NUCs 👉 ASUS Mini PCs. They’re powerful and upgradable, but…

🔒 Privacy is a concern:

Most Intel and AMD CPUs include:

⚙️ Intel ME / AMT

🛡️ AMD PSP

These allow remote management even when the device is off, which isn't ideal if you're aiming for full control.

🧠 That’s why I’m seriously considering ARM-based devices:

✅ No ME/PSP

✅ Lower power consumption

✅ Simpler, more open design

🤔 Any solid recommendations?
