Hi
Have a look at Panasonic toughbooks.
Panasonic is considered in Japan, to be the best of the electronics companies.
I have a TF=37. It is close to bullet proof, light, and feels like a brick house compared to the Viao.
Be careful. I bought it from Global in San Jose. Price was incredible. However, support from them is horrible. BBB time. No 98 Cd. No cd insert available. Generally, lot of bull...
Too bad, the laptop is incredible.
