ThinkPad T450sby Lenovo
PROS
- You won't find a better laptop keyboard than on this ThinkPad.
- This little machine can take a beating. It passed MIL-SPEC 810G.
- In case 11+ hours isn't enough juice for you, you can swap in a new battery without shutting down.
CONS
- With upgrades, this laptop easily becomes overpriced.
- It lacks discrete graphics--unusual for a work-oriented machine.
- The base model's display is dim.
