  • What are people doing with their laptops, mine never break, except one time when I knocked a cup of water into one in 2005.

    My latest one, Asus Zenbook is already 3 years old and no issues. Has a dent in the top cover where a nurse kicked my bag when I was in hospital.

    My previous one, a dell Inspiron which my 9yo has had for 2 years, is 6 years old, he is not gentle.

    Previous to that, I had a work supplied Alienware that lasted 7 years, I traveled internationally with that one quite a few times.

    Not sure if I’m lucky, or more careful than average. But I hear about “build quality” issues a lot in internet posts. I’ve just never seen it in the wild…

    Note: all ran/run various flavours of Linux.
