I’ve heard they are rugged. Big and Ugly too, but there is plenty of room for ginormous battery(don’t know if they have one or not). If you had to go out and drive around Oil Wells, be a Cop, or a Game Warden, it would be tops.
“Big and Ugly too”
not any more. they’ve slimmed the full-size laptops way down, and they’ve always had a line of small handhelds and ultrabook-type lightweights, but these latter two type are VERY expensive, whereas the full-size laptops are only expensive ...

indeed. or telephone/cable/fiber-optic workers in a ditch, insurance adjusters and the like. that’s what they were intended for, but a laptop is the main tool for my independent support business, so i’ve used toughbooks for many years for my owh laptop.
(Panasonic also makes a line of fully-ruggedized laptops and tables for the military, CIA and the like, but those suckers are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!)
