Dell's rugged laptops are pretty tough, too - they're used by the US military. Military people have all sorts of anecdotes about how wimpy and sucky these laptops are in the field, and how often they fail exactly when needed most, but I suspect few consumers will expose their laptops to warzones and military-grade abuse.
Most of the GL752 reviews I've seen on YouTube comment that the laptop seems very dense and durable, they are generally impressed with the high build quality. But at least one reviewer was critical about how flimsy the unit appeared, he was concerned that the lid hinge appeared weak and the battery probably wouldn't stay in place after a solid impact - his opinion was that the GL752VW wouldn't be as durable as (lower-priced) competing laptops in the same class.
