A lot of manufacturers have notebook computers that they consider ruggedized in some form or another, but it's not always clear just how much they can take. Panasonic gave Geek.com access to their testing facilities in order to see some of what their notebooks go through. Some tests include temperature shock, drop testing (from various angles), a 360-degree shower with pressurized water, and more. In addition to describing parts of the test process they got some video of a Toughbook 30 standing up to a few drops and a lot of water.

A friend lucked into a good deal on two CF25s and I paid half. The first time you read your email in the rain, your hooked. The introduction to friends was to start it booting or defraging then toss it spinning onto the ground and jump on it a few times. The look on people's faces is priceless.
The cf27 I treat much better and other than the battery, it keeps on chugging.
