There’s nothing rugged enough out there. Over a long enough time it will die. My two cents would be to minimize physical connectors or makes covers to protect them.
My shop (not wood) uses an old, obsolete and honestly useless Microsoft Surface tablet, since
A it has no fan just a hinge
B 2 charging ports with usb c and the magnetic charger
C Bluetooth which u can get a cheap membrane something that will work, and a Bluetooth mouse.
D has a touch screen as a fallback.
Linux is pretty good on it with a gnome based distro and it has enough Horsepower to run FreeCAD.
That said even if u don’t like Microsoft I believe Walmart or something similar offers 2 in 1 windows laptops that have the same or worse specs. That’ll do.
