Same and also went with Radeon graphics this time. Very happy with my decision.

Man I just hate that you can’t disable to PSP spyware bullshit. It’s the only reason I don’t use them

What?

Its a “trusted” execution environment for the system. So basically, it has access over your entire system and there’s no way to know what it is doing because it is proprietary and many people and third party security groups have expressed concerns about it before and asked them to open source the code that runs it and they will not do it.
Intel has a similar system the Intel Management Engine but you can disable that after bootup and also run it on open source bios so that it is essentially neutered. You cannot do that with AMD.
The NSA disables and removes Intel ME on their systems, so it seems like there’s a very real threat from these proprietary systems that have complete and entire control over every aspect of the machine and software running it.
