IBM/Lenovo and Apple are the manufacturers I've had the best luck with -- despite the crappy keyboard on my 2015 15-MBP was failing and replaced and issues on my 2019 MBA. They are the only laptops that still feel mechanically good after 3-5 years, no creaky, failed or sloppy hinges, sloppy lids and parts falling off. Actually, my Google Pixelbook is also still decent after all this time. I still have a 13-year old 24" iMac from 2008 that is working fine and used to let kids watch some Netflix, I only jsut retired it because streaming sites dropped support for the OS and browsers. I have a 2010 Macbook Air on its original (but limping) battery that I used to use for serial comms and electronics stuff, still working fine. Besides the failing GPU, my old 2009 and 2011 iMacs run well (and some amazing folks figured out how to replace the MXM which I did, baking also worked). My Samsung, even Microsoft Surface Pros, were pretty creaky and sloppy after about 3 years.
