Hello everyone!
I'm looking for a new Laptop for a friend of mine, who has used an old 2011 MacBook Pro since release, which recently died. The problem is: He has difficulties with his fine motor skills. That means no Lenovo Trackpoint, no touchpad with touch-to-click.
What I am looking for:
Any suggestions, even if they don't fit perfectly, are highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

What I am looking for:
budget of up to 2000€

brand does not matter as long as it fits
preferably a new, unused model
mainly for working, writing, data stuff. Nothing too special.
is expected to be carried around every day for at least 5 years
no need for game support
as much battery as possible
rest is irrelevant as long as the special criteria are met
■ requires an SSD
■ at least 2 USB ports, preferably ethernet
■ CPU of i5 grade or better
■ not glued (can open and replace parts yourself, CPU and GPU excluded)
■ must be able to survive multiple drops from at least 1m height without damage, preferably survives being thrown down a staircase (the old MacBook pro was that robust)
■ should remain alive for at least 5 years
■ must be able to run Linux, preferably not Ubuntu (something secure)
■ Touchpad:
■ multitouch
■ gestures
■ no touch to click / can be turned off
■ can press anywhere to issue a click (like the macbook), preferably no extra buttons
■ not too small
■ Keyboard:
■ backlit
■ keys must be lit as well (to see in the dark)
■ at least standard size for use with large, unprecise fingers
Any suggestions, even if they don't fit perfectly, are highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
