RE: Notebook Choices

Panasonic still makes the Toughbooks, we resell them as part of our
meter reading systems.  They are great, but cost 2-3 times what a
regular laptop does.  As a result, we don't buy them for regular
business use.

Panasonic had a line at one time called Toughbooks.  Never tried one,
don't know if they still make them.
