I literally did some web dev work on my Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 (released 2012) last week. It's running linux[1] at this point (since it's EOL), and is a little slow, but it's still perfectly functional for running vscode and a local webserver. (As others have pointed out, browsing the reset of the bloated web is a pain, though) [1] https://galliumos.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Support guys like this: Https://system76.com/ & https://coreboot.org/ that do their best to remove everything proprietary at as low level as possible for Intel and AMD. You can also hack some older thinkpads that I think completely disable IME. Source: almost 3 years ago
