Haha, would love to hear some of those stories (hopefully positive ones😉). It's actually my companies laptop, which I use for work when on the go, as it is extremely light, even suited for biking😅

Well, the hardest of the ones, was when I was working for IBM... with my R40 I think... that sustained about 3 or 4 coffees on top of the keyboard... and still kept going... sticky as hell, but with a bit of water eventually improved.
Others like falling from 6-story buildings and surviving to boot after that fall. Obviously not the screen, but it booted! This one was a T version...
Other times, I was on a customer with the power cord across the room, explaining something about AIX (the IBM OS)... and then I accidentally kicked the wire, and the laptop did a split-second smash against the ground. The only damage was a little corner of plastic that broke, other than that, nothing! It did not even crash... as it was running when this happened. This was a T30 I believe.
Many others... they are basically indestructible the T models at least... the X1 are very light and versatile. But at the time those didn't exist yet (I think). Good old times...
Haha, those are some great stories😂 luckily mine didn't have to endure such extreme things yet. Only once spilled a glass of water over the keyboard. After that I immediately switched it off and kept it off for one day, as I was scared about what may happen. But hearing your stories, I won't even bother doing so next time😉
