I remember seeing a manufacturer of really repairable (nerdy) notebooks. Some things i am not 100% sure about anymore:
I saw it while the discussion about frameworks “big tent” was ongoing.
Star Labs is a European company that sells laptops and two-in-one tablets with excellent Linux support. They don’t meet all the criteria you listed, but they’re good to mention
(offtopic: I’ve noticed the word “notebook” to refer to the same as “laptop” to become more common recently. I even had thoughts at some point that it’s a Russian localization curiosity, using the transcription of “notebook” for that.)
Nice machine. I’d wonder if it’s deliverable to where I am if I needed it.
The term ‘notebook computer’ has been around since the advent of modern computing, so it’s unrelated to Russia or any localisation
Yes, I understand that, I meant that it somehow felt for me that it’s a dinosaur term in English that nobody uses. Dunno why.

I was intrigued by their open hardware claim but then saw the pi/Mali/rk3588 options all of which are more closed source (require binary blobs) than the x86 they eschew for being closed.

I think they had a RISC-V CPU as an experimental option for a while, but I couldn’t see it on their site recently.
Not sure what happened with that
