I love those Japanese Panasonic laptops with the circular touchpad that are still inexplicably sold with optical drives.

I don't think you can get them outside Japan anymore(?) but for me they will always be the archetype of "good quality business laptop".

The Let's Note series being very conservative with I/O, with optical drives and analog VGA output, speaks volumes both about how pragmatic they are and also how painfully slow the average Japanese business scene changes in regards to tech (what with the persistence of fax machines and all...) :/
The funny thing is, all the models I've handled require the same number of screws to be removed to disassemble.
The Let's Note series is underrated. I wish they sold them in America.
