For a long time, my go-to recommendation for reliable laptops would've been \
thinkpads; but I haven't had any experience with the new chinese versions.

I've been pretty happy with my (employer-issued) HP ProBooks, but that' a sample of \
one, of course :-)

One thing to keep in mind for your particular usage, though, is that consumer drives, \
and, especially, laptop drives, are not designed for 24/7 operation. I would strongly \
recommend to go for SSD storage even if you don't need the speed, as those at least \
don't have moving parts.
