Durability is more than feeling solid and not having moving parts. Lenovo do some crazy durability tests [1]. Does Apple do the same?

That link is marketing fluff. You don't need to take a laptop to Everest to understand that moving part are prone to breakage over time or that a rigid casing will better-protect interior parts. Carbon fiber is prone to cracking while aluminum will generally just dent.

Sorry, let me re-phrase. What objective tests does Apple do to ensure reliability/durability?
