Can someone point me toward a laptop that won't be obsolete in three to five years? I want something that actually lasts.
Use case:
Mainly .NET dev using Microsoft. On top of that, I'll be running SQL Server. I need to run about 3-4 VS instances simultaneously, one SQL server, and maybe a couple of Node.js servers.
Size:
13" to 15"
Preferences:
Apple, Dell, then HP.
Storage:
256GB SSD
RAM:
8-16GB
Graphics aren't a priority—just nothing with a glare and enough ports to hook up a second monitor. No gaming or heavy GPU tasks here.
CPU:
Preferably 4-core, 7th gen or better (not a hard requirement).
Thanks.

So far, this is the only thing on my radar:
