It seems this option could overshadow other laptops in terms of durability.

^ That’s it?
All the laptops you’re considering are strong choices, but would you like to add more internal storage to either of them later?
laptop I'm using is disabled and I can't sit at a desk to use a desktop comfortably. Unless I can get a desktop with a portable screen that I can place on my lap.
I'm considering the ASUS GU603ZM, but it will need to be back in stock yet—I'm not in a hurry right now.
That was the Lenovo model I was evaluating.
I'd like more storage, but it's not essential since I already have external HDDs. The 1TB is mostly for game files, and I currently have 222GB free.
