My 13-year-old T410 Thinkpad is also eternal. I've bought and thrown away several other laptops since I got that one back in 2010.
I've upgraded it to an SSD 4TB from the original 500GB 2.5" HDD, and I replaced the keyboard when one of the arrow-keys stopped working for some reason.
It was super expensive, but my goal with laptops is to buy something with sufficiently excellent build-quality that it’ll last for years.
That's my philosophy too, both with computers and with cars. In words that's stated pretty much as: "Buy twice as good and buy half as often". Laptops I keep as long as possible, cars usually about 10 years or more. A Mercedes is hardly run in at 10 years of age.
