Thinkpads are great, Dell Latitudes are great, either one will last you until after the apocalypse and then the evolved roaches will install NetBSD on it

i can attest for the keyboard troubles actually. the V3-371 i currently use as my home server has had the W and D keys fall out due to minecraft gaming. incredibly flimsy keyboard build. also windows just Broke on it one day, and it went into the closet for several years until i learned about linux. now it has served me as a home server for 2.5 years without much trouble.

i have an acer chromebook (given by my school during quarantine, so I didn't buy it) with two usb-c inputs and I can only say that was a blindly made good choice because one of them stopped working after a year of use. the battery life is... something to be desired, and I have to keep it at the minimum brightness to use it for a good length of time. the absolute worst thing to give to people who tend to not care about their tech, if a carefully used one is having a hard time after 2 years.

I actually really liked mine, and it was good for five years or so. I'd still be using it is my primary writing station if the charge port hadn't broken... two years ago? Goddamnit. I hate being poor. In any case, I wouldn't buy another. I don't think I trust tech companies to produce equipment that can last, and is worth the investment. And I'm not in the least bit surprised that ACER sucks in general.

This is a hilarious but accurate description. Most Dell hardware that hasn't been redesigned for USB-PD still uses the exact same chargers too, I can take the massively overpowered brick off of my new monitor dock and plug it into a D620 and it will charge very fast
