Reading guides how to choose a laptop for work and travel always seems to contain a few things:
1. it has to be sturdy
2. it should have a good keyboard & trackpad
But what about the software? I’ve come across a lot of people that bought MacBooks only to realise that they actually needed Windows (to run specific software). I don’t think installing Windows on a Mac is a bad idea but why not think about the software first and buy the hardware according to your needs?
Thinkpad. Good keyboard. Good battery. Good everything
Edit:// The article claims that aluminium is somehow more sturdy than any plastic. How comes they aint even MIL certified then? I throw mz thinkpad on the ground regularly and it barely has scratches where every macbook would be broken.
I know the top model Thinkpads are very durable and are tested under extreme conditions. But those aren’t made from plastic alone as far as I know but use polycarbonate, magnesium, carbon fibre, metal hinges and so on.
