A lovely ride down memory lane. These IBM machines were all works of old, beautiful computing art.

  I wonder what would be the closest (because I do not think there is such a thing) today. And I do not mean military grade things. I mean „normal“ laptops that are tough and functional.

    Panasonic still manufactures the Toughbook line, but it's more rugged than tough (ah, adjectives).

    Most (all?) modern business laptops are actually very tough. Reviewers regularly bend them in ways that would make you faint if that was yours and they are fine.

      Yes, but still after some years not really usable. Or maybe I got a bad one? I’ve a 2016 macbook pro (the one with touch display) and already after 6 years was failing. And now almost unusable.

    Framework is trying the best toward "functional" in the sense that it can be repaired by a regular person. Though I would not consider it nearly as "tough" as a magnesium bodied Thinkpad
