If I were to buy a laptop, it would be the Framework laptop that just started shipping. It doesn't have a Ryzen chip, though, so that's a deal breaker for me. Otherwise, that laptop ticks all of my boxes.
Phone-wise, there are many options to choose from. I like the idea behind the Teracube 2E[1], as they take some of the principles behind Framework and apply it to phones.

Depends on how much you want to tinker. You can't go wrong with a Raspberry Pi and some external harddrives, but there is also dedicated NAS equipment that requires less setup and maintenance, some of them are Linux based, as well.
