10. Build quality
No matter how careful we are, most laptops are inevitably going to find themselves, dropped, thrown and knocked around by the rigors of everyday use.
To counteract this, some modern laptops are ruggedised to withstand rain and dust. Some are built especially for the brutal educational environments - and come with military-grade protection certifications.
Others can weather liquid spills and can be rinsed clean. Either way, it's worth checking out how much testing a laptop has undergone (the manufacturer usually crows about it) or whether there's any sort certification that you can put your confidence behind.
