Help CFH choose a laptop.

[Nameless]

Do they still make Toughbooks? If I paid for computer stuff that's what I'd buy. Forget about spec etc., with a laptop it's how well they stand up to getting dropped etc. I go through them at a rate of knots, I broke one jst last week.

I can picture you hurling them across the room every time you read one of Lyle's posts.

My girlfriend spilt a glass of wine into one in Amsterdam last week, although I did almost throw it a few times due to rubbish speeds. Last week was a nightmare internet-wise. I generally manage to drop them. I must have been through 20 in the last few years although I get them from work and just give them to people I know, family etc. I must have bust at least ten though. They really are delicate things, the Toughbook was great but the hard drive went, or something technical.

Beside the wine of glass, how can you bust so many? I have my second one life time at the moment, the other went down after 6-7 years, well, the battery gave up which means my laptop had to be always connected to an electricity source and 256 megs of ram were now absolutely not enough to carry the load of today's programs. I changed it afterward for the one I have at the moment but I never busted one whatsoever. Do you have some secret anger management problem that you just expose on your laptop instead of keeping it inside or expelling it over other peoples or?
