The only good computer is one you have the hardware schematics to (i.e. virtually none of them).

Purism, System76 and, more recently, Framework

edit: Purism apparently is not trustworthy as a company

What's the point if they still have AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, etc. chips on them?

You mean things like the Intel Management Engine? I think they are partially disabled, like in librebooted ThinkPads.

This is only for laptops by the way. System76 desktop BIOSes are still closed source. It's such a shame that there's no FOSS BIOS for desktop PCs, hopefully AMD OpenSIL changes that.

PinePhone Pro for the mobile side. The schematics are available. I quite like mine, especially with the keyboard case. It's basically a pocket laptop.
