Ask HN: Laptop Recommendation?

Ive been using apples (MBP + MB air) for the past decade and i think now its time to bite the bullet and switch to a pc/linux laptop. Don't fancy trawling through crappy websites trying to get the lowdown on the current crop so thought id ask the community here. Anyone any suggestions?

- Used for regular office stuff, "light" programming & games like factorio, freeciv

- Im a heavy, heavy user, 15 hrs a day

- All my laptops are covered in grime, frequently fall would need to be relatively well built

- I don't care about weight but I do like nice looking laptop

- Prefer 15'' inch screen but can make do with 13''

PS alternatively if anyone knows any decent online sources of info to help compare also much appreciated!
