I think durability depends on the laptop model. ThinkPads are known for their durability and keyboards especially the older ones. Is urs Thinkpad or?

Seems like you get a good deal on them too, I mean as long as it does the job, right? >

Yeah, it fits my needs and portability makes it better alternative to a laptop. Sure it's not as fast as newer ipads but it cost justb a fraction of an ipad. You can even use type-c to type-c cable to connect any tv, desktop monitor which supports type-c.
