I’m sick of my laptop breaking after just three years. I want a laptop that:

  • comes with a nice APU
  • does not have a dGPU
  • comes with a chonky thermal solution
  • has lots of battery juice
  • has lots of modern ports
  • is repairable
  • is rugged, bulky and thick
  • is equipped with a nice, thonky keyboard
  • isn’t one of those stupid, low-quality “gAmIng lApTOp”

So far, only the X220 and MNT Reform comes close to this description - the former is a really slow machine for today’s time, and for some reason, still damn expensive. The latter is just too expensive to the point that I’ll have to sell all eight kidneys in my family.

Do they sell anything like this in today’s time, with a reasonable price?

PS. Thick is a strong requirement. I want a really nice cooling solution, plus it also serves it’s purpose as a melee weapon to removed-slap those ultra-book trash-talkers.

    I don’t know if it’ll hit everything, and my use case is significantly different to yours, but Tuxedo is a pretty attractive option to me. I do want a serious dgpu, so my shopping list is very different to yours. Nonetheless, the keyboard and ports look good to me.
