Endurabook is a repairable laptop project built around a simple principle: hardware you buy should last, and when something breaks, you should be able to fix it.
The founder
I’m Demetri, the founder of Endurabook. I started this project because the laptop I wanted didn’t exist: a machine designed from the start to be repaired rather than replaced, running Linux without compromise, and backed by a supply chain I could be transparent about.
I’m a long-time Linux user based in Hertfordshire, England, building this openly with input from the community.
Why Endurabook exists
Most laptops are engineered around replacement cycles, not longevity. RAM is soldered. Batteries are glued in. Parts are unavailable or priced out of reach. Documentation is withheld. When something fails, the path of least resistance is a new machine. The environmental and financial cost of that is significant and largely avoidable.
Endurabook takes the opposite approach. RAM, SSD and battery are all user-replaceable using common tools. Parts are stocked and listed by SKU with published pricing. Firmware is documented. The goal is a machine designed to be owned for a decade, not discarded after two years because a single component failed.
How it is being built
This is a one-person project. Prototypes, supplier decisions and test results are shared as the project develops. The mailing list community has the opportunity to influence final hardware choices before production locks in.
If the product does not meet the standards committed to, pre-orders will be refunded in full.
