Hm, just some data points:
my private laptop is a Thinkpad T520. I replaced the battery four times now in some 10 years, I gave it a RAM boost a year ago... the marketing lettering is flaking off, and it has one small crack on a side where it made unplanned contact with a concrete floor - but the machine is working strong. They will have to pry that machine out of my cold dead hands should it not die before me. I run it under a debianesque Linux with i3wm.
Work laptop is a 2017 HP Elitebook. This thing is utter garbage. I'm not talking about the funny idea to add a display port instead of HDMI for political reasons - but it keeps overheating, it's fan is loud as hell's airport approach, and every once in a while, it randomly bluescreens - and needs some funky key combination during BIOS to become workable again. Once Covid is over and we're back in the office, this thing will get replaced. Windows 10, and sluggish.
