See title. I'm curious if there's one independent from the US, and if possible also from China.

Or well, at least as independent from Big US spy tech as possible. While Apple is nice, it's proprietary and I don't trust them in the long term.

They sadly advertise with an โ€œAIโ€ part, which, ew. But they seem good other than that.

That's just what AMD calls their latest laptop CPU line. I don't like the name either, but performance-wise they look really good from what I've seen.

are all of these laptops customisable in terms of OS?

I haven't bought any of these laptops so far, I just looked into them because I was considering it. That said, all of them offer various Linux distros, Windows, or no OS at all. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to install whatever you want on them.

As for security I'm really not the person to ask. The way I see it, a computer is as secure as you make it. StarLabs shipping with coreboot out of the box does seem interesting though, if you want to go full tinfoil hat :)
