Why/User Benefit/User Problem

Description of the feature

a good cooled laptop with sturdy, think-pad like keyboard and case. Don't make the mistake lenovo made to their thinkpad series. When used right, plastic is the material for things that drop usually. You should also leave some space for flexing so laptop won't easily crack/bend/disassemble when dropped: https://youtu.be/doEZMNXz1JY Also rx580 or similar discrete graphics appreciated

Aluminium is nice but it fails to flex back like some plastics. Maximizing rigidity while maintaining elasticity is hard.
