Daughters Christmas present was a toy laptop because we didn’t want her just watching YouTube but at least she can learn typing and basic skills…

Nope, it’s an ABCDE keyboard instead of QWERTY… No transferable skills at all. Should have just bought a $50 last generation netbook and installed Linux on it.

(Arch BTW)

My buddy uses one of these for his work on boats. Doesn’t matter if you’ve got it wedged between an engine and a rough fiberglass bulkhead, can handle being dropped in the bilge.

Way back Storm cases warranty said they would warranty anything except shark attack and children under the age of three. I should have taken a pic, looks like that doesn’t exist anymore.

We used these ToughBooks on deployments in the US military about 20 years ago. One of the guys in my unit tested it by slowly driving a Humvee over it. It still worked. Screen was a little cracked, though.

I picked up a construction-grade tablet PC back in 2010, and while I haven’t been todler-tough on it, it’s still running great and the peace of mind of it being so rugged has been great.

When I was young I once pretended to work on my dad’s laptop, and then I pushed it off the table and broke it.

I would wager that getting a toughbook would be a little overkill. I remember one of my friends in primary school, who was on a step ladder taking posters off the classroom wall, dropped his fully open ThinkPad 11e on the ground, not even a scratch.

how many thinkpads?
