My Anecdotal Laptop History: 2006 HP Pavillion - dragged around the world. Felt a bit cheap/plasticy but never had any major issues. 2013 Macbook Pro Retina was a champ, a bit dated now. Saved me from massive back-injury when I fell on some ice and acted as a shield. Put a huge dent in the corner. Speakers rumbled a bit after. Unusable now due to MacOS limit. 2015 Asus Zenbook Pro still quite usable. Windows 10 still happy. Keys felt a bit plastic/motile but still decent to type on. 2022 Dell Latitude 7520 just arrived, extremely light and peppy. Overall has a very utilitarian feel with a backspace key and function row. Nice big trackpad. Hope it lasts a while. Now the only funny thing is if you add up the cost of all the non Apple laptops it equated to the same cost as all the others combined. Pavillion ~$800, Zenbook Pro ~$1299, Dell ~$1699, Macbook Pro Retina: ~$3700 Definitely got my eye on a https://frame.work/ https://frame.work/ soon for personal.
