In that case buying a top end laptop might mean that it needs replaced further in the future.

  Yeah, I can see the argument for that, sure. I still think the premium you pay for total bleeding edge might not be worth it, though. Plus a lot of the premium you pay for is not for added durability (maybe some added durability up to an extent, then after that it's mostly speed/power/memory/etc). The rest of the computer will still wear out in about the same time as other laptops, regardless of how great the tech is inside. Macbooks tend to last quite a long time (I'm still using an early 2015 Macbook Pro, for example, and there's still nothing wrong with the hardware except maybe the fans are running more than they used to, most likely because I need to replace the heatsink thermal paste, it's probably worn down a lot) so paying a higher premium on those I can see being worth it, but I've had terrible luck with Windows laptops, with the most recent one having the plastic around the display break apart on me after only a few years being only one of many things happen to it, and that was a somewhat premium model (a gaming laptop, at least), so I'm hesitant to pay too much of a premium for Windows laptops.
