Hardware & Technical Razer laptop? Still randomly running stuff as admin?

Turns out Razer's laptops aren't that big on receiving security updates to close the myriad holes in intel's management platform and firmware handling: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/03/razer_laptop_flaw/

The TL;DR is that if you're one of those g@m0rs who keep running stuff as admin just because it's cool, anything goes and if you catch anything targeting those ancient issues, no reinstall in the world will help you.
 
This goes to any laptop, really. Every OEM litters the system with their own "malware".

I do use laptops from time to time but first thing I do is a drive format and reinstall of a clean system.
