Best Secure AMD Laptop for free software

I'm looking for the best secure free software friendly modern laptop with an AMD CPU, and Powerful GPU.
Will compromise on BIOS, but TPM, UEFI, "Trusted Computing", or baked in Processor WIFI allowing remote involuntary firmware/microcode changes is not an option, also would like to avoid peripherals with lots of writable flash storage that's easily infectable. Will even compromise on WIFI card, since it can be removed.
It seems all the threads listing options for good Free Software and or refurbished Laptops focus on ones with Intel chips which all come with Baked in Processor SPYFI.
I've tested a quad core HP DV6 witch falls within these guidelines, but when encryption is done, example PGP, during the exact time of encryption my little AM radio Buzzes during the encryption. I need one that doesn’t do this. My other Laptop tested to be secure, leaks no data during crypto processing.
Can we get a secure Laptop Thread Going Here? Cheers
Laptops with AMD processors come with AMD graphic cards. You will not get any 3D acceleration with such a card. Linux-libre perfectly handles the Intel graphical chipsets (except the PowerVR ones). That is why you only see Trisquel laptops with Intel processors.
As far as I know ThinkPenguin only sell laptops with Intel processors that do not include TXT or vPro and with Wifi cards that Linux-libre handles out of the box. Their BIOS or UEFI is proprietary though.
