Someone asked a similar question in a freedombox (a small plug computer
running free software) discussion. I believe this is

question starts at . It provides as psuedo answer to your question.
Unfortunately, I don't know of a good answer.
More then likely you will have a hard time finding a new laptop that meet the
conditions you ask for. In that case I think the best thing for you would be
trying to find some sort of used laptop. That way you are not contributing
to the production of new goods. Here are a couple examples:
1) Buy from a business that is maybe going out of business and selling all
their goods.
2) Find someone who bought a new computer and is selling their old one.
3) Check an electronics recycling place. My local one sells refurbished
laptops.
This way at least your money wouldn't be going to the production of new goods
produced in poor conditions. It would be going to the guy selling you the
laptop or the e-waste place. It isn't ideal but the best I can think of. I
found my computer out of the trash (I think someone thought it was broken but
it only required one part being replaced) which is about as good as you can
get.
