> I loved the Thinkpad due to its durability.

Typing this on a T480 which 2 years ago, I accidentally dropped, while open, screen-first onto concrete from height of about 6 feet. There's a little dent in the bezel, but that's it. Still going strong.

I am peeved about the USB-c port not being a replaceable module though. I can still charge through the Thunderbolt/Dock port, but the other one no longer accepts a charge from any cable/brick combo I've tried.

Sadly the high speeds required for many things that people now use USB for make simple connectors or wires infeasible inside a compact machine. Can't push gigabits over anything cheap and compact.
