Are there laptops that won't go bad in jungles?

Probably, if the battery is good.  Battery technology and physical protection of electronic devices is quite good these days.  For example, if you are trying to destroy a laptop, you will probably be quite surprised how difficult it is to destroy a hard drive, for example.  The issue is just the two big ones: if your computer falls, will it break, and if it does will it be repairable?  For example, a standard laptop will probably be quite hard to break, but will often break the screen, causing damage to the rest of the computer, which then must be repaired.

I don't think you understand. I'm going to be spending time in the Amazon, for a few months, and need a laptop that will keep working, that can handle the high heat and humidity.
user
Alright, fair enough.  That's a reasonable concern.  Unfortunately, the main issue here is probably the data you’re carrying on the laptop.  Hard drives typically need to be cooled to avoid overheating.  Not sure how well a laptop will work with no cooling or fans, but it’s probably not something you want to take a chance on.

Isn't it possible that there are companies that make laptops especially for such environments?
user
There are definitely laptops specifically designed for outdoor use, but the “laptop” itself is unlikely to work in the wild.  The reason the industry makes specialized laptops for outdoors is that all the systems that you use in your laptop are designed for indoor use.  For example, many modern laptops will be physically unable to handle the humidity of the rain forest.  To continue using your laptop, you will need to buy new or more rugged systems like hard drives, memory, and your computer board.  This is why laptops designed for use in the jungle are rarely designed by laptop manufacturers, but rather by rugged laptop suppliers.  To continue the analogy, if you took your normal laptop outside in a rainstorm, it probably wouldn’t work well afterwards.  If you buy a laptop specifically designed for use in the jungle, you are more likely to get a laptop that will work well afterward.

So there are companies that make those rugged laptops? I wouldn't use it in the rain. I'd keep it in a waterproof bag.
user
Sure, there are companies that make rugged laptops for many different uses.  You could use any waterproof bag.

That's likely a good idea, but I'm still a bit concerned.  Do you have the money to replace parts?  Or do you want to ship it to a different country when you break it?  For example, if you run your laptop on a recharger and the recharger breaks, then your laptop will be permanently broken.  If you lose your battery, it's very unlikely you'll be able to easily find the correct battery for your laptop, in the wild.  Also, there's a good chance that you can still connect to a Wi-Fi network in the wild,
