Experience with Tuxedo outside of Europe? Or other non american companies? (aussie.zone)

I'm considering buying a laptop from Tuxedo, but I'm in Australia and I'm not sure how bad that idea is. Does anyone have experience or recommendation? I would not buy from any american company though. Is there a risk to not go through the country, or that I would have to pay a massive tax on it?

I bought 2 lenovos before. It seems to be getting worse for Linux and Amd. My first one was awesome, the second one had so many issues and I have to use a usb wifi and blacklist the internal one, so I probably want to skip lenovo this time, even if I have to pay a lot more.

Oh.. chipping. The case was breaking. Sorry... I thought you mispelled "shipping", that it took a very long time for them to send you the laptop.

Yeah, that's important for me. My current lenovo, although higher end than the previous, doesn't compare. The first one is all metal. I dropped it several times on concrete and it survived without barely any issue. While this one even being so careful gives me a headache.

No point buying something expensive that will die on the first time I'm not careful and I'm usually not careful.

    If you need sturdy, nothing like a refurbished old Thinkpad, but probably the expertise needed is too much for me.

    My ones are thinkpad. I'm not sure why people praise them so much. There's all different kinds.

    My first one like I said is a tank though. I never thought laptops needed to be that sturdy, but now I know that, like phones, they need to be as strong as they are expensive (and it's usually the opposite).
