My insurance agent, and those construct guys all use Panasonic Tough book. IBM and more vender and jumping into tougher PC wagon.

Exactly how robust is a TOUGH BOOK ? can it survice a drop from table height ? Rattering in the truck ? OR it need that BIG ORANGE CASE to defense itself ?

Note : geeks.com has Pansonic PII 500MHz $500 tough book for sales.
