You realize that "apolitical" is an extremely well-known nazi dog-whistle / pure apologetics these days, right? I'm not saying you shouldn't buy framework, that's your call to make, and my threshold-to-nazi is clearly different from yours, but I do think people should at least look at who they're in bed with.

    apolitical is also a word with a definition

    Definitions, or rather language, tend to change over time. Usually turning into their opposites. And nothing stops people, in this case right wingers, to abuse a term to hide their crap either. See "Evolution: Contoversy". No,I'm sorry, just like "Hacker" has become a synonym for "Cracker" & "Black Hat", so "apolitical" has become a fig leaf to "hide" right wing bullshit in plain sight

    Usually very old (more tenth than second-hand) Lenovo ThinkPads (And, yes, I am aware of IBMs involvement in Holocaust management via the Deutsche Hollerith-Maschienen AG), they tend to be ok for neat things like LibreBoot too. If I didn't want to tinker with them myself I'd buy directly from https://minifree.org/ instead. Sure, they are oooooold, but I'm a programmer of the vim-persuasion, but not compiling horrible languages like C++, so I really don't need much. That said: I am ok with people making their own decisions, following their own moral compass; I really just wanted to make sure that they are at least aware and can make an informed decision ;-)
