It's a matter of dollars. For instance, the Fujitsu Toughbook may take more use, but you pay for it. You may not like that model either.
Notebooks last 2 to some years then need a battery, a keyboard or this or that.
There is not a no-maintenance laptop made at a price you will want to pay.

I own an IBM Thinkpad A31. I use it constantly. This year I've been having a lot of problems with it. Is there another laptop that is "heavy duty" that could take the wear and tear I put on the machine?
