I'm actually not in the need of a new laptop right now. My current laptop is a Dell gaming laptop (not alienware). It currently has a fan problem, but at the very least, it seems to be repairable.

I honestly, feel in more need of a desktop computer. I actually haven't had one in years. In fact, I never even built one because I was always given laptops as gifts when I needed a new computer, I don't play the latest AAA games so I never felt the need, and the lack of space. But I realize that I feel WAY more productive on a desktop computer than a laptop. However, I'm probably going to build my own desktop if I'm going to get one. I would only consider System76 as they have already mitigated IntelME and flash libreboot (neither which I have ever tried to do before), but I swear their computers are Apple levels of expensive. Even their mini desktops can reach the $1000s.

But I'm also nearing the two year mark on my current laptop and normally something breaks to the point where I can't use it and it is either too difficult (if not impossible) to fix. I'm trying to use this thing for as long as possible though.

Well, given how non-existent the FLOSS scene is in your country, I doubt that's going to change anytime soon. You can try to ask these companies.
