Get yourself a thinkpad, not the absolute slim ones but the ones which are repairable. Parts are going to go bad in 10 years but switching them out will be easy. You may need to change batteries 2-3 times depending on use.
5-10 years is a huge range. My first Lenovo that I bought in 2010 still works, slow, but works. Similarly, the laptop I bought in 2017 also works.
I would suggest not buying i7 or anything on the very high-end of CPU, as they’ll produce more heat and may not survive that long.
And take everyone’s suggestions with a grain of salt, as it’s electronics and it may die out earlier than expected. I have had laptops die on me in 3 years for no specific reason.
