Holy crap! screw the macbook pro...I want a Toughbook!

[FreshPrince]

yes, bootcamp will allow me to dual boot osx and xp, but really...how often will I need to do that? hmmm....none?

Instead, I want a Panasonic Toughbook!!!!!

you've seen those commercials...and you think they're fake right? wrong! watch the video...they poured water right on the laptop and had a 150lb+ person stand and jump on it....still works after that :shocked:

Toughbook > Macbook Pro :laugh:

You jump on your laptop often?

no, but I want to know that if I or anyone else ever accidentally step on it, it will still work

not to mention you can drop this laptop at an angle and it will still work.

You must be really clumsy...

Standing and jumping on a laptop is a much less harsh test than dropping it IMO. That said, Toughbooks are definitely, well, tough. Too bad they're so bulky and heavy. Actually I used one when I was deployed to the middle east after 9/11.

Do this to your everyday cheap plastic dell

You pay for that durability, and last time I looked at them they were a little behind everyone else in performance.

If you're really accident prone, then toughbook was made for you, but most of us will stay in the $1250/$1500 bracket. Thank goodness for the $750/40% discount Dell coupons.

not the new D620 & 820...

they did a demo with someone standing on it and it still works..but the dell has no drop protection, atleast not mil grade.

I hope you're willing to take out a 2nd mortgage on your house to afford one

The new Dell D420/620/820s all meet the mil specs on drops/falls. They just don't meet the parts where you pour 8 gallons of water on them.

After seeing a few hundred pass through the R&D lab at work, I'd gladly say that the CF-29 chassis is tough enough to bludgeon someone to death with, while open, running, and accessing the hard drive - and not even blink.

I 've spilled water on my laptop and nothing happened. Stepping on one....I would never do that....

 

[aigomorla]

Sorry....IMO the toughest laptops ever were the GRiDs. Magnesium cased and able to survive toddlers.

If only the company had been tougher.....

 

[AzNPinkTuv]

My thinkpad has a magnesium alloy body.....completely worthless I say. Cracked badly after about a 1 foot fall.
