Many years ago, at a previous job, I was issued a Toughbook. I loved that I didn't have to even think about babying it. I could just slap it closed when done and throw it (literally) back in the truck.
I didn't like the cost of the thing; which is still costly today. However! Just like back then, today, you can get REALLY good deals on used Toughbooks through eBay. Because they are niche and not many people want to carry an 8Lb brick with them.

- rbanffy 2y agoJust remember that being indestructible also means the cheapest ones are ancient as well.
- samplatt 2y agoI've taken apart a Toughbook to try to resurrect a dead hard drive. It was the most brutally annoying laptops I've ever had to tear apart. I have SO much respect for those machines, but if it's being sold without a HDD, be prepared for some pain getting it open and then back together again.
