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:

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 😀

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.

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. 😀

ive seen a article somewhere of a toughbook taking a bullet. i was like OMG. Definitely the only laptopthat was built stronger then the thinkpad.
 
Sorry....IMO the toughest laptops ever were the GRiDs. Magnesium cased and able to survive toddlers.

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

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