    I have a pretty recent thinkpad that supposedly has “military grade durability”. The plastic is literally falling apart at the corners after 2 years, and my fan grille is gone.

    Fucking lenovo

      Military grade is bullshit marketing. Basically anything is military grade

          Military grade means literally nothing. Actual military equipment is “mil spec”, and not something the average consumer needs, or can afford, in most cases.

          Even when military spec equipment is made by the lowest bidder, this stuff still has to be blast proof, bullet proof, work from -60°C to +85°C, be water/dust resistant, and many other requirements depending on what is being made.

      Which Thinkpad do you have? The “Thinkpad” line has been expanded to basically all professional grade laptops now.
