Here, I'll go into a little more detail about these kinds of factors, and how to choose the right laptop for you.

It's a scene that's played out in homes across America: the toddler spilling water all over your work computer. Or your laptop being swiped at the local coffee shop. Or, the ancient laptop you've been using finally kicks the can and is shut off for good.
