Tools should be used for sure.

Still never a reason to carelessly step on cables, toss/shove the computer instead of set it down, etc.

Yup, roadie wrap those cables and maintain things well.

My laptop is nine years old and has done more travelling than most people and has been used at the beach, on boats and near a waterfall. It's needed new memory, the spinning drive replacing/upgrading to SSD and a new battery but I've never cared about cosmetic damage. It's also clean, because that's part of maintenance.

My Kindle looks like the end of Rocky II.
