Understood.
However, I think maybe there are ways to achieve delivery even if the manufacturer is not operating in the destination country? Maybe through a third-party partner such as Amazon?
This Chromebook (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YMM4YC1/) for example, ships from the US and can be delivered straight to my hand even Google don't actually operate here.
Currently, if I want to buy the laptop, I have to hire a courier company to proxy the package (from their US warehouse to the destination country), the company will handle import and customs. But given the nature of the business, the package might be damaged or lost, and when it did, I might only get the courier fee refunded.
Amazon on the other hand, almost never fail, and even if they did fail, I can still get all my money back.
I would totally pay a small premium to get my laptop and other hardware safely delivered. So... I hope Framework consider this.
I'm very fond of my Pixelbook Go. They are not new but still can be had at a somewhat decent price: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YMM4YC1
It's fairly simple to get it running Linux via this project: https://docs.chrultrabook.com/
The screen is 165.63 PPI, nearly what you're looking for. It's plenty crisp and clear for me at 1,920 × 1,080.
And most importantly, it's thin, fanless, and the battery is decent.
