My current MacBook Air is the 2012 version and I’ve had it since 2012, logged lots of hard miles in my backpack, fallen off TSA conveyor more than once, lots of coffee spills, dandruff, girlfriend giving it the evil eye, and still going strong...so I will at least vouch for its ruggedness. And I’m generally not a fan of Apple ruggedness as all the prematurely nonfunctional iPods, AirPods, and power cables gathering dust in my bedroom will attest.
