Your best bet is probably a tablet or smartphone with a fast ARM processor. Those don't have the management engine and can run surprisingly fast.

While it's true that they don't have MEs, the basebands in smartphones almost always have direct memory access, and their own proprietary firmware, so the same problems apply :-(

As a desktop computer for day to day use? Can I run it without non-free software? Can I natively install Debian with mainline Linux to actually get work done? Can I connect a monitor and other accessory?

Should not trust a phone or tablet. Are the radios off? Are you sure?
