Recommended Dell laptops for durability?

[Velvis]

A client has been having some issues with some Dell laptops hinges snapping off from the plastic frame essentially making them useless to open and close and thus unable to transport them from home to office.

Does Dell make sturdier laptops but not necessarily "high end" specs wise?

They just need a basic laptop but something that physically will stand up to daily transport.

I don't know if that exists with dell anymore. I'm scared to recommend any higher end dells to clients for fear of the damn hinges being junk. It's been a problem since at least late 2021 early 2022 I'd say with anything in the inspiron especially. I believe some of the latitude series lines had the same issues. I just can't in good faith recommend any dell laptops now because of it.

I'm convinced at this point they want to ruin the company long term with this junk lol.
