Old school Toughbooks were tanks. I had both a CF47 and CF61 way back when and they were indestructable. Of course, those were old P1 era machines. I know I've seen some Toughbooks that didn't really look any more rugged than regular consumer stuff, so maybe that's what you were dealing with? EDIT: I will add that I did do some repairs on newish Toughbooks owned by the Army maybe 3-4 years ago. The big plus with them is that they were repairable; all the ports were on separate daughterboards so they could be easily replaced when broken, whereas they're soldered directly to the main board in more typical laptops.
