My long time fav are Thinkpads.
They work for decades, I still have a couple from 1995 that aside from being slow and the backlights getting dim still work perfectly. They are highly dust and water resistant with built-in gutters to drain away spills out the bottom. Never had any issues with hinges going bad which is something very common with other makes.

Very nice thing is that Thinkpads can be easilly repaired. Lenovo carried on the IBM traditions of assembling them with screws vs 'snap & crack', providing actual repair manuals and of course parts lists. Currently using a ThinkPad P15 workstation w/gen 10 i7 & 16gb memory & NVIDIA® Quadro RTX graphics. That replaced a T410 circa 2010 which still works perfectly, is just slow because of the i3 CPU.
