> 12-year-old Thinkpad has outlasted two high-end Macbooks Nice! Our two MacBook Air from 2013 died at about the same time, about six months ago. Despite putting in a faster SSD and changing the battery: eventually RIP is RIP (and thanks for the 10 years). Our recent MacBook Air M1 lasted... 13 months. Upon waking up one morning the screen was fuxx0red. Meanwhile my 2017 LG Gram's screen is ultra flexible and sturdy and can deal with pretty much anything you throw at it, including its previous owner (a friend of mine) waking up one morning and stepping on it by mistake. You can also throw it down concrete stairs and it'll keep working fine: (skip to 0:34... video not made by me but it's basically my experience with that Laptop) https://youtu.be/herYV5TJ_m8 https://youtu.be/herYV5TJ_m8 They're not cheap laptops. They're not "retina display". But, darn, can they take a beating. Not like the precious and ultra brittle porcelain that the latest Macbook are.
