Toughbooks are widely used by police, fire, military, and construction
personnel, specifically because they can be dropped, splashed, and
viewed in direct sunlight outdoors. If someone has trouble seeing a
Toughbook outdoors, it is either broken, a counterfeit, or had the wrong
display installed as a repair.

You hardly ever need 90 W; that is for charging the battery _/and/_
running the computer. Most of the time you should be fine with about
20 W (this is what I measured on a number of occasions when I really
wanted to know), but this is still double what your Pi 3 draws.
If you are into that old laptops, you can easily have a Toughbook for
about $300 (or even less). Btw. Toughbooks, at least the ones I used
in the past, had terrible screens. If you complain about iPads in the
sun, forget about the Toughbook. You should have a nicely dimmed room
to be able to read the screen correctly. But they had the touch screen
for decades.
