Laptop buy advice?

I've been using my Lenovo X201 since 2010: blog.josefsson.org/2010/10/25/

In 2015 I had an urge to replace it with something newer, but my process collapsed:
blog.josefsson.org/2015/02/24/
blog.josefsson.org/2015/03/25/
blog.josefsson.org/2015/05/11/

Today I can better articulate what I desire: less proprietary software. In particular, the BIOS, Embedded Controller (EC), WiFi, Intel ME stands out as problematic in my X201. Otherwise it still works as I want.

Advice?
