First, my comment should be on the T400 hardware. It is a very good computer with the advantage of silent running: no fan noise or drive noise. The machine is well-made. Now, the software: The software is dependent on the version of Windows used. Bill Gates has never been ethical in his business practice; make bad versions and reap the profit from selling and make people upgrade (make more money);as Steve Jobs once said: 'Microsoft makes THIRD RATE products" - it did not even make second rate.

Well judging by my last purchase from Datasales co. I bought a t40 and t41 refurbished with xp in January 2010. The T41 is still chugging along saddly the t40 finally gave up last month. Both have been survivors of at least a dozen falls. That is why i just purchased this t400.

I've always found ThinkPads durable. I've even been able to drop mine (not very far) and it still works well. For being very out of date it's not a bad laptop because it can still handle most tasks.

Hi, I would say fairly durable. We've had two for about a year now and we use them as goals, and have had no problems. However, my kids are young 9 ,7, 7. So they do pretty limited damage. But for us they have been perfect.

Yes, I'd say it's durable. As turtleperson mentions, the clamp that holds it is made out of plastic, and it probably wouldn't take much to break it. As long as you're careful during installation and so long as nothing crashes into the unit after installation then it will be fine. The pump itself is very durable and I don't foresee having any durability issues with it.I've had mine for 3 months now, and I love it. Water used to just trickle out of my RO faucet before... After installing this pump I actually have to be careful to not turn the faucet all the way on when filling ice cube trays or water splashes everywhere due to the higher pressure!

So far I've had no problems with its durability. It hasn't broken and seems very strong. The only possible downside is that it shakes a bit during high intensity activity (I use mine for freerunning and parkour). Not really anything you can do about that though from what I can see.

Yes it is very durable, as for how much weight it can support, I am not sure. I do know my mother in law has four throws in it with plenty room for additional stuff. She is truly enjoying hers...it's a good buy at a good price.

Somewhat. I've had mine for several months and about take it all week with me. Its holding up pretty good.

Yes it's very durable. I hit a few rocks and some minor rapids and it handled it just fine.

I've had mine for a while and it's held up great. Just be sure to not over tighten the screw on parts and never over load it. Other than that, it's awesome!

It's pretty durable. Ours has been dropped and knocked off the table numerous times. I'm pretty impressed with it. We've even used it as a flashlight on more than one occasion :)

No, it's very realistic in its durability, I haven't had a problem with it at all, and I've dropped it several times.

Hi - so far it is very durable. However, we only open it every couple of days. It is well constructed out of quality materials.

I've only had mine for a couple of months, and I'm pretty gentle on things, so it's holding up perfectly. It does seem very well constructed, good solid materials, I expect it will wear well. Hard to find in stores to evaluate, but most of the electronic gadget shops in airports have them on the shelf.

I wouldn't purposely beat it up lol But i've dropped it more than a few times and it's alive and kicking. It's made to be used by children so I believe it's the most durable system they've made recently.

I believe so, ours has been used and abused. Still as sturdy as day one and hasn't lost its shape.

Yes. It is quite nice and has worked without issue through two moves. I even damaged it with a door and have not suffered. It is not overly cheap or fragile.

It is extremely durable. It is well built, I've dropped it off a table and had it slammed in a trunk and the only scar to come out of it has been my six year old breaking off the flimsy antenna that manufacturers put on most devices requiring a radio signal, but the radio still works flawlessly. In conclusion, yes it will withstand being knocked over as well as any other unforseen accidents.

it is very durable. I do not cary 50 lbs daily, but i feel confident saying that it can handle that much weight without problems.
