Expert tester comments
Acer's Enduro offers some protection from drops and spills, with rubber bumpers on its corners, and drainage holes on its base. There are covers for all the ports, and there are plenty of them, including one Thunderbolt 4 port, in addition to USB-A and HDMI. It's a laptop to consider if a bit more toughness and protection from the elements is required. It also has very good repair and upgrade potential.
