You will not find a more reliable laptop than Panasonic's Toughbook. The CF-19 (the only tablet in the Toughbook line) happens to also be "fully ruggedized" meaning it meets Military 810F-STD. Which is a standard used to ensure maximum durabilty. In one the test for this standard the laptop must be dropped from a height of 4 feet and still be able to function uninteruppted. However, with this level of durabilty come a very high pricetag. A CF-19, fully loaded is going to cost you around $6,0000 if you opt to get a lower end model you are still looking at around $3,000 - $4,000. You can configure one at config.toughbook.com or you can call 1800-Laptop5 and ask any technical questions there as well. Also, all of Panasonic's Toughbooks come with a standard 3-Year warranty, for the life of the product, as opposed to the industry standard of 1-Year. You may want to also considering purchasing a docking station with any laptop you get in order to utilize your LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, and internet connection at work, seamlessly.
