Have you heard of the Purism Librem devices/laptops/phones? They're
specifically built with freedom, privacy, and ownership principles in mind.
Also I see dedicated keys and hardware switches. Here is one of their
laptops:

Included Linux based OS:

BTW, are all Lenovo products out of consideration? If it is because of
country of manufacture (China)...it's going to be hard to avoid tech
products that have no connections to that country all.

Although owned by Lenovo, IME the business class Thinkpad T and X series is
still pretty true to its IBM roots.

Coreboot is available for the X230 per links at end of this page:
https://www.coreboot.org/users.html

Also:https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/

If you want a tablet type laptop, look into the Fujitsu T902. It can handle
16 gb ram and 2x 2.5" SSD (if you replace the optical drive).
