Why not just a good ol' ThinkPad?

The Lenovo ThinkPads are surprisingly not that bad

Wouldn't a Thinkpad be a better idea ? You can get used ones for fairly cheap.

same niche as old thinkpads maybe?

Check out the current Thinkpads; they might also have something that suits you.

Aren't you just looking for a Thinkpad at that point?

Looks at thinkpad X1, has this already, shrugs.

Get the latest thinkpad in X series or X1C. Might not be the best choice, but it still works. Rugged, good keyboard.
