Start with the assumption that it isnt (not even a little bit), and take whatever other precautions you feel necessary.

being a non apple person and just simply watching from the sidelines , apple genuinely has this much different feeling around it

gone are the days of filling classrooms with knowledge machines , and here are the days of greedy 1300$ cell phones and patent suits 

Get a ThinkPad. You can never go wrong with a ThinkPad.

I like to collect one keyboard for every switch, but the one I use the most is the Cherry MX blue, followed by the red ones.

I like loud keyboards, THE LOUDER THE BETTER

It would just be more expensive and more stuff to try and cram in the already compacted space of a laptop.

8 year old computers with old slow ass mechanical hard drives half of which are likely on their way out by now
Not really a big deal imo

Thought it would be fun to make a topic about, all of our experiences with all the people, who doesn't really understand all the tech.
Note: Don't make this too harsh on them. You need to help them, not yell at them.
I'll go first:
So my mom has a daycare. And one day I am sitting on the floor with my laptop. And one of the kids, with real dirty hands come and put his hand on the screen. Guess he thought it was a touch screen. Still haven't gotten it off, and it was 3 months ago.
My grandmother is scared of getting rid of the computer, because she thinks it will cut the power to her house.

This is literally the oldest rumor on the planet with the introduction year for these chips always being 2-3 years away. Every since Apple started designing their own chips for the iPhone and iPad this has been a rumor. No one has built an ARM chip at this size. Comparing the two in Geekbench isn't enough to tell me the performance is there and losing the incredible amount of software support that x86 has is stupid. Tell me when we see these in the wild because otherwise it's just another stupid rumor to add to the pile.

Dell Inspirons are always a cheap option with a lot of power packed in. They do weigh some more than other laptops as they have some strong plastic to make it handle rough handling.
 
No laptop will get you 3-4 mins 1080p rendering. And by this you have nothing to compare it to so I'm assuming the coveted 1min/1min 1080p real time rendering. 
 
The Dell Inspiron 15.6" Full HD IPS Gaming Notebook Intel Core i5-7300HQ 2.50GHz is on eBay for 789$ with a 256GB NVME and a GTX 1060 6GB. Since I don't think I can post eBay links that's the actual title of the item.

Honestly Pixel 2 is my recommendation. The stock android beats everything for me. Plus the guaranteed 3 years of software support. 

Check and make sure you have no automatic voltage settings enabled. That temperature change from stock is rather drastic.
