Buying NON Amernican. (from Canada)
I just ordered a European laptop (Clevo). Bit of a pain getting my credit card company to accept the overseas transaction, but now that it's gone through, delivery time is forecast as about four days !!!

I haven't bought anything new as of recent, be it made in Canada or anywhere else for that matter.
And the majority of what I've got in the past few years I got from thrift stores and secondhand shops or as gifts from close friends.

@Sidewinder I hope you get along just fine with your thrift store computer.

@ffony :) Hasn't let me down, yet.
And it's a lap top that was given to me secondhand by my Father when he got a new one.

Just for general info: Clevo is based in Amsterdam. (That's in Holland 🙂.)
My machine is being shipped from there today.

@BlueGreenGrey Thanks for the link. I too was thinking of System 76. My aged laptops all have Mint installed after deleting Windows. This will be my first attempt at simply(?) buying with linux preinstalled. I'm very aged myself and a permanent semi-newbie. Are you open to occasional chat about linux etc? New machine should arrive April 14 with mint 22 cinnamon although mate has been my preference.

@DanielsASJ As far as I know, this website may be American, but people from all over the world use it.

Is this charades; or a crossword clue?

@ffony You can get a Taiwanese brand. Would that suffice for his highness?

@pancakeslam I'm not in contact with King Charles. Also don't have cattle so I don''t need a brand. In addition to which ... pffft.
