Thinkpad. Good keyboard. Good battery. Good everything

Edit:// The article claims that aluminium is somehow more sturdy than any plastic. How comes they aint even MIL certified then? I throw mz thinkpad on the ground regularly and it barely has scratches where every macbook would be broken.

I know the top model Thinkpads are very durable and are tested under extreme conditions. But those aren’t made from plastic alone as far as I know but use polycarbonate, magnesium, carbon fibre, metal hinges and so on.
