I bought the cheapest laptop with the most expensive warranty. My wife
never used it (other than dog chewing up ps). It like tarps and camping.
You put them up to prevent the rain :D

Some of the Toughbooks are not so durable, CF-45 (or 7?) come to mind.
Wife also killed a -27 in fairly short order, though it worked well
for me for several months before she got it. Thinkpad held the laptop
wife life record, no other marque came close.
I have noticed functioning Itronix P4s are now consistently<$200 on
eBay. Those things are literally rugged and shockingly well-built in
person, and help build upper body strength when you try to move them.
I bought one for my wife (when they were a lot more expensive), who
made the choice to go desktop rather than install a hoist to lift it
onto the bed; we sold it on CL and bought a nice C2D desktop instead,
which is still running. :) Liked it while I had it, though, so I
eventually plan to get a pair for the kids when they outgrow their
P3+G4.

Panasonic Toughbook
Many models over the last decade to choose from. I use CF-29's with touchscreen
for my autistic nephew, although that model is slow by today's standards. They
can take quite a beating - literally.

A quick laptop question for the knowledgeable members of the list.
I am going to purchase yet another used laptop. I don't need the latest and
greatest, it will be for web browsing and emails. I will also be used by my
teen aged sons, one of whom is extremely tough on equipment. Extremely. Like
bordering on abusive. Anyway, what laptop manufactured in the last several
years can take a beating, specifically the jacks for power and headphones? I am
leaning towards a Dell d610, d620, d630 or IBM t40 or t41.
Any suggestions?
