My Fairphone is 4 years old, it has been dropped on the floor (even hard surfaces like rocks and asphalt) countless times. It still works and looks like new. It has a protective cover that covers the edges, but not the screen or the back. It still survived all these years without a scratch.
Nice, I really like the idea of fairphone, eco and repairable
80s/90s laptops weren't too shabby either. Especially the early ones where it was literally a suitcase with a CRT built in and a fold-up keyboard. The definition for "portable" meant "anything that might be possible for one human to move it".
In the early 2000s they started making them out of cheese or something I dunno. We had hinges figured out for thousands of years, yet we couldn't make a screen hinge last to save our lives. It was that collective quest for extreme thinness that nobody really asked for (I thought all our shit was thin enough by 2005). Plastic shells used to be a lot thicker and there was a lot more metal.
I still remember the old Thinkpads having waterholes so they wouldn't break when you spilled your coffee over them. We've devolved since then.
