...I have a 9 year old, small (12") ThinkPad specifically purchased for my travels. It is not the fastest of m/cs now, but is built like a brick outhouse, and every internal part is easily accessible. (It has had memory augmented, and the HDD replaced by an SSD, both by me).
I wish I could buy a similar quality replacement, but a recent Lenovo consumer-oriented m/c I repaired for a friend was much more challenging, being built almost completely out of very brittle Chinesium, with none of the major components easily accessible, and a disassembly process designed to break the larger case components.
My ThinkPad can soldier on until Win10 is no longer supported (and possibly longer).
