I don't really understand the argument here. I did point out some flaws with running old laptops, regardless of the model or manufacturer. Touchpads were not great at the time in general (neither screens for that matter), and usb-c is just missing. The specs are also getting to the point where it starts to feel slow, especially with current horribly overbloated webapps. I am not sure about what you mean by "not as smooth" keyboard. What matters to me is the accuracy and speed I perform at. And since I can hit 110wpm with great accuracy, just like on my mechanical keyboard, I don't see any real issue with it. Also for the record - I dropped my laptop twice back in the university where they had those tables tilted and it slipped. It did survive both drops, the cracks started appearing over time. I never spilled anything at or close to the laptop though. I keep my beverages on the left side of the table so I can't accidentally bump them.
