The Dell Precision range (and probably the old Thinkpad W-range, which has since been renamed...) used to be the laptops targeted at people with your utilitarian requirements list.
It's a few years since I retired my old Precision laptop, but it definitely ticked the thick, durable, huge battery, tons of ports and reliable Linux drivers back then. I'm not sure how the contemporary models hold up.
- nine_k 10y agoThinkpad T range is also right about this: a thick, powerful, utilitarian machine.
- lucideer 10y agoThe high-powered "Txxp" models in the T range were what lead to the creation of the W range. More recently, I think the W range might have been superseded by some certain models in the P range, though I'm not too sure about this.
