I wouldn't blame your kids. I've had several chromebooks (that only I used) go down for various reasons including a cracked screen I could't explain. One of my kids devices is an old Thinkpad and I don't think we'll ever be able to get rid of that.

I am so happy I invested in a ThinkPad as a chronically clumsy person. It takes so much abuse lol.

I have a whole collection of laptops bought over the years, the ones that have seen the most use (and abuse) are a ThinkPad and a Macbook Air 13", they're both still doing fine after many years of service. They're both on extremes of the spectrum portability vs other specs, and depending on what I'm doing I'll pick the one or the other. Neither would work for me for all use cases. Zero repairs on those two.
