laptop

I've had good luck at home with IBM ThinkPads, made by Lenovo now. Not sure if the quality is the same now, but one I bought 10 years ago is still running on the original hardware.

I did desktop/laptop support and repair at my last job with HPs and am certified to do warranty repair. I can't really speak for the consumer models but the HP business models are quite sturdy and hold up well. Almost of the repairs we did to the hardware was due to abuse...being run over by cars and forklifts and left on hot stoves...I'm not kidding.
