A laptop built to be repaired, not replaced
Built by a founder who got tired of laptops designed to be thrown away.

Available with Zorin OS or Windows 11, your choice.

Pre-order window closing this month.
I’m Demetri, the founder of Endurabook. My background is in engineering and physics, and I’ve used Linux for years because I prefer systems that are predictable and built to last. That mindset shapes this project.
I work directly with the manufacturing partner on firmware behaviour, thermals and parts availability. My goal is simple: build a laptop that stays in service for as long as possible, with transparent decisions and long-term support. More about the project →
Real hardware
Every photo on this page is from the prototype currently in testing.
I also held a public livestream where I answered community questions, discussed firmware work and did a live teardown of the prototype. Watch the full teardown and Q&A →

Shown at the Hertfordshire County Show as a finalist in the Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire’s Entrepreneurs Challenge.
111 people are following the project and helping shape the first production run.
When every other company seems to be doing planned obsolescence and invalidated warranties, Endurabook is a laptop I can upgrade to become what I need it to be, at a fraction of the cost. I can see they’ve really thought about how to make a laptop that they’d actually want to buy, but then actually gone out and made it. Good specs. Looks good. Future proof. What’s not to love?

Reserve yoursI’ve been looking for a repairable, upgradeable laptop for years. The fact it runs Linux is a nice bonus – I left Windows behind many years ago, and other laptops have so much grief with Linux installs.

- Vacant SODIMM slot and M.2 NVMe slot. Supports up to 64GB RAM and unlimited storage.
- Power profiles optimised for Zorin OS and this hardware. Better real-world battery life than installing Linux on standard OEM hardware.

No Windows tax
Most laptops bundle a Windows licence into the price regardless of what you plan to run. If you use Linux, you are paying for software you will never use. If you already have a Windows licence through work or a previous machine, you are paying again. Endurabook lets you choose at the point of order: Zorin OS or fully licensed Windows 11 preinstalled. Linux users do not pay for Windows. Windows users get it included without the forced-bundle markup.
Less e-waste
Most computers are replaced not because they fail but because software support stops or a single component breaks and parts are unavailable. Socketed RAM, a replaceable battery, a swappable SSD and 15 years of security updates for Zorin OS mean this machine can stay usable for a decade or more.
Supply chain transparency
I’m commissioning an independent audit of the manufacturer’s facilities and labour practices. I will share the findings openly, including areas for improvement. As the project scales, I am committed to pushing for greater transparency throughout the supply chain, including material sourcing.

Endurabook is assembled by an audited factory in China and sold direct. It ships with stock UEFI firmware tested and configured for Linux: suspend works, ACPI tables have been corrected, and the boot sequence is not locked. Coreboot is not implemented, which reduces development costs. That is why it costs significantly less than European-assembled alternatives.
