Laptops as strong as a rock?

One of the nightmares I dread is accidentally dropping my laptop on the floor and we know it is not the sturdiness item in this earth. So I had been very careful whenever I place the laptop on the table. I also make sure there is no liquid being placed near to it. Sometimes I wonder why mobile devices are not made to withstand external forces even though such trait often compliments the mobility. Another thing I dread is the moment the hard disk dies on me. It’s not like you can install more than 1 hard disk in the laptop. If my hard disk decided to die on me one day, there goes my data. Fortunately I have another external hard disk I can rely on.
