    Easy. Raspberry Pi. Made in UK, doesn’t come with bloatware, Windows, or even any OS (unless you buy the kit that comes with Raspberian pre-installed).

    It’s also upgradable (or at least expandable) through its many available connections.

    Not feasible as a daily driver but it meets the specified requirements.

    It will have components made in China but it will be hard to avoid that for pretty much anything made of more than a few different materials.

    Alternative answer is the Framework laptop, made in Taiwan, can also be ordered without an OS or even without a hard drive (DIY version that you assemble yourself). You can then be picky about the other parts you buy, it’s possible to buy RAM, SSD, etc not made in China.

        I have an original framework I got via freight forwarding as they don’t sell to my country. Later they went hard and really locked down their systems against freight forwarding, so I can’t get a newer model. I was really keen for the 16 inch AMD one.
