@lanodan @ocean @coolboymew @skylar I've worked for 12 years in a company that supplied exclusively laptops for work and they've been fine, until management insisted they wanted ultrabooks. Ultrabooks are not meant for the rigors of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week usage, their tiny fans have to spin extra fast to compensate for the quick heat build up in their small cases and the bearings wear out, the hinges are smaller and weaker and they're extra annoying to service for tasks that in-house IT used to be able to do quickly. Oh and the batteries are smaller and as such their capacity drops to inadequate levels faster. Ultrabooks are fine for personal computers, they're just not work machines; just like you wouldn't bring a sports car to haul cargo.

Current job's asked me when hiring me what laptop I wanted, I asked an HP Elitebook 840 G9. Thing's been stable and reliable so far.
