My Toshiba was really good for 8 yrs, except both hinges were broke in 3 yrs. For the next 5 years the screen was permanently held open w/ 2 aluminum flatbars screwed into the screen and the base.

This Dell is 3 yrs old, and has 2 broken corners on the screen, which I epoxied and it just broke again. One hinge is broken as well. It has never been dropped or given any other reason to do that. And I didn't have it 2 years when many of the letters on the keys are worn off, and unidentifyable.
They do build tough computers. They start at about $3500 for small specs and go up rapidly. Try a DELL XFR, if you want to pay for it.
