> What's so great about Huawei laptops?

Unlike other laptops, there is always the lingering fear of a Chinese backdoor.

I'd rather be concerned about friendly fire from our own. As an US American, i'd rather be concerned about big tech and government backdoors than anything else. Especially in the current atmosphere of doom inside the US.

Backdoors in the OS or firmware?
I always use Linux, so I don't care what software it came with. If you're suggesting there are firmware backdoors, I'd like to see your evidence.

  There have been known vulnerabilities in ASUS firmware, but I was referring to Armoury Crate which is forcefully pushed on Windows users.

  I think this is a really bad epistemological stance in this case.
