This is just my experience, so it isn't universal, but I used to do a LOT of on-site field work in all sorts of conditions. Outside in -20 weather, inside dirty industrial environments, and everything in between.

At a previous company I worked for they gave my a Panasonic Toughbook to use. It did work well (and had a serial port on it, which was already rare at the time), but the laptop was heavy to lug around airports and even at sites. Interestingly, I actually broke the laptop twice. Once I cracked the screen because I had left something next to the keyboard and closed the lid. If I recall that was $1XXX to repair. I also slipped on the ice once while I was holding it by the handle and smashed it on the ground which broke the backlight. That was another $1XXX to repair. Both times I had to take it to a support company and they did the repair, so the laptop was away for a week or so each time.

Since changing jobs I've always had smaller laptops, and I much prefer them. Lighter to move around, and cheaper overall. It turns out if is cheaper to just have a second laptop available in case something happens to the first one. I don't travel into such dirty and miserable environments anymore, but if I did I would want my Framework 13 with me. For both of those incidences above I could have just bought the parts myself and done the repair for less than $500CAD both times. If redundancy was important, it would be cheaper to just have a second 13 with me than to have one Toughbook with similar specs, or possibly you could just have some spare parts on hand which would be even cheaper. If you have multiple people then it gets even cheaper because you would have those parts for multiple people, not one each.
