Best Affordable Laptops for Developers (SQL, Database and Programming full stack)

[Mythbuster]

Hi All,

Please can you suggest a good Affordable developers laptop that can run for 8-10 hours a day without needing to shut down and should be able to do
Lot of programming, Download applications, SQL and Data base stuff.

Please note: I am looking for durability as once I buy I don't intent to change for 5 years. So I expect decent amount of USB ports, good and latest wifi reception.
Note:
1. No touch screen, stylus needed
2. No Gaming ( I do not do any gaming)
3. I rarely work on photoshop / GIMP

Just a rugged no issues laptop that can keep running and have no repairing issues of keyboard etc.

Many thanks

You did not state your definition of affordability. If I were doing this I would look around the top couple of Lenovo X1 Carbon Thinkpads. Not the cheapest laptops around. BUT as you said 5 years, one of thing things that Thinkpads were good for was the availability of replacement parts and ease of fitting them.
