The most hardened versions of the Panasonic Toughbooks have been updated with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors and brighter touchscreens. Since most of these laptops will be used in broad daylight, that extra screen brightness will certainly be welcome.
All this durability comes at a price, though: depending on configuration, you'll spend around $4000 for the 10.4" screen Toughbook-19, and around $4500 for a fully-equipped Toughbook-30 (pictured above) with its 13.3" screen. Still, it's probably worth it if you're taking your laptop along when you go bungee jumping.

My fire department was forced to use these pieces of crap. They are not firefighter proof.
That's funny!
I've seen cops do these in too!!
I spent ten years builing various kinds of equipment for law enforcement.
I was once told by an investigator that if you give a cop two steel balls in a half an hour one will be lost and the other will be broken.
Cop-proof is something mil spec wants to be when it grows up!
What they really need is a feature that helps you remove your intestines from your scrotum, because these things are so heavy you WILL get a hernia. It is fun to jump on top of them though and they won't break.
