Toughbooks have been around for a long time... You can even find used ones.

I party in the high desert constantly with my girlfriend's ibook and it holds up amazingly well. Since I run my projector visuals off it, it sees some serious desert duty.

Next time we upgrade a laptop, I swear I'm looking for titanium and stainless steel. Larry's rough as hell on his in the truck. Lots of vibration and sudden drops. Heh.
