Searching for laptop with STURDY ac connector

In my experience, laptops frequently fail due to broken internal connections between the ac adapter port and whatever board it is soldered to. My Fujitsu lifebook broke this way three times (and was repaired twice) before I gave up on it. Now my Thinkpad R31 has the same problem.

Does any vendor (or after market supplier) offer a laptop with a SOLID connector that prevents wiggling and maintains an aligned position? You’d think someone would. I’m envisioning a little bracket on the computer end of the ac adapter, something with prongs or clips to serve as a strain release on the actually connector port.

If anything like this exists, I’d really be grateful to hear about it.
