I use this at home and outside places like coffee shops.I was a programmer for 25 years and have used many computers.My favorite brands are lenovo and HP business class.  Business class means they are built stronger to handle rough usage like traveling a lot.  They often can be dropped and be OK.  Their glass is stronger.  usually there are more ports.This notebook has a small solid state drive (SSD).  SSD drives are more durable and faster than traditional hard drives.  i store most of my files on the cloud or external hard drives.  They are more secure there and the cloud backs them up for you.
