What's my best bet for a laptop I can survive on for the

Pic related or Chinkpad or Dell Precision.

Latitude 5000 series are solid

Thinkpads are straight up memes, get an XPS 15

A high end dell or frankly a rMBP are going to be your best choices. Think pads haven't been good laptops in over a decade and are notorious for being unreliable. Which is why most large businesses buy dells or macbook. Its a cost/uptime concern.

Since $1500 rulees out the 15" macbook pro I'd say yeah a 13" 2016 should be good for the next 4 years.
I'm still using a 2012 15" macbook pro and it's still by far my favorite laptop since it still has pretty good performance (i7 quadcore @2.6ghz, 16gb ram, 650m) but with the dvd drive out and only an ssd it's still pretty light and pretty thin.

I'm not gonna tell you to get a mbp op, but at least wait like 1 more week until the new MBPs are revealed. They may be shit but they may also be dope, and you might as well wait a week to figure that out.

Gaymer bullshit aside this one is pretty good:

OP here. While it looks interesting, I've heard gaming laptops don't last very long. Think this one will hold up?

If you're going to beat the thing, then get a memepad, otherwise, Asus build quality is pretty decent.

I think you mean pic related OP

No hardware at WWDC

ThinkPads and Dells (business models for both) are going to be the most durable.
