    I use a Fairphone phone with CalyxOS (an android operating system) and it's been very good to me. It's a European company based in Amsterdam.

    Asus is from Taiwan, so that seems to be the least problematic one from this kind of a geopolitical perspective.

    If you don't mind China then Lenovo is an obvious choice. But that would be hypocritical given what your wrote about the US

    Europe stopped making computers decades ago. Some companies brand Clevo-made (also Taiwanese) Linux laptops in EU area though.

    I would normally tend to question the motive oof this question but then again many people on the left tend to seriously believe hyperbolic and alarmist stuff. You think it is untenable to have an Apple product because Tim Cook, who is undoubtedly on the left, went to the inauguration of the U.S. President? And your reason is because what? You realize illegal immigrants have been housed at that base for years under multiple presidents, right? Also, to me it is a strange question to ask on HN, presumably HNers would be aware of laptops and smartphones that are not made by Apple ... I guess I don't get it.
