Well it sounds like that laptop was problematic, not laptops in general.
I have a 26 year old laptop that still boots. A 15 year old one (Lenovo) that still runs fine (just replaced a fan in it last month, for $15).
I've carried many laptops over the years, and the better brands (Dell, Lenovo) have held up well, and I traveled for work a lot every Friday/Monday for years) .
But... The consumer lines of these brands don't do so well. I think that's a key difference. I'd never buy the consumer line of Dell hardware for example (Vostro), as it's known to not be very good.
