A similarly specced ThinkPad or Latitude is built to last, has user-replaceable components and will not fall apart in 2 years after a warranty expires.
From my experience you get what you pay for with those professional machines.

i only paid $100 for it on ebay, so i can't really complain, but it doesn't seem much different to the average consumer laptop to me.
If you want more serviceability then T series (and P if you have the budget) are much better.
Though even on the T’s they started soldering they dimms which is annoying.
I've had a couple different models and batteries in both were easy to replace.
In contrast, there's NO way to replace the keyboard without basically buying a whole new system which is incredibly stupid.
