Thinkpads come in different flavours, and the have very different quality. Either get a T-series, or X-series (X series is basically smaller version of T). Or if it's a used one, the later A-series are good as well (A series means AMD instead of Intel). The old A - series were crap. Nowadays T and X series have AMD also (if model ends with 5, it's AMD).
T and X series have MIL certification.
For example there's also X1 Extreme (costs around 3000€), but quality wise it's a lot worse than T or X series, because it does not have the MIL certificate.

- tasuki 7y agoYes, when I wrote ThinkPad I meant T or X series! First time I hear the X1 Extreme is worse quality wise - I was thinking it'd be my next machine... like in a couple of years. Do you have more info?
- ratiolat 7y agoTwo examples: 1. No drainage system (like in X and T series) 2. Screen hinge becomes loose in less than a year (anecdata) Edit: in order to remove battery, you have to remove the whole bottom cover.

- ratiolat 7y agoMy bad. It reality it has the MIL-STD-810G cert. Sorry for causing confusion.
