A more rugged design option. #34

Laptops lately have been thinner, lighter, and easier to break

Stronger parts, heavier duty materials, maybe even easier repairs.

Historically I have bought thinkpads for this reason. My cynical view is that manufactures intentionally make them lighter and thinner so they do break and you have to buy a replacement. The more units they sell, the more money they make. They don't care about their customers, only making money. If I could find a company that bucks this trend and actually values their customers I'd buy from them in a heartbeat. A company that is loyal to their customers will find their customers being loyal to them.
