I bought a panasonic Toughbook!

[Turbo Dave]

Ive been needing a laptop for school and tuning my cars. After seeing the panasonic toughbook on the show Jericho (agent hawkins version was EMP proof!)

best thing about this toughbook is that it has a touchscreen, perfect for the car!

after reading numerous reviews, i decided to get it. The toughbook is the strongest and most durable notebook on the market. and most police/fbi/ government officials use it

heres the CL ad

Toughbook CF-29 Exceeds Military Specs = Touchscreen 1.2GHz Pentium M Equal to a 2.2GHz P4 1GB DVD-CDRW Multidrive 120GB Hard Drive Upgraded A/B/G Internal WiFi card. Water proof backlit ruberized keyboard. Windows Xp Professional with COA & Office Professional 2003 with COA and reinstall disks. Best offer over $600.00

I ended up getting it for 525 $!!!

definately a good deal, If you guys need a laptop thats strong that you can throw aroudn in your backpack, this is it.

so many featuers its unbelievable, you can install a dvd rw drive while the computer is on

that's pretty cool man although i don't really like how shiney that is... i'd have to custom paint it like my Dreamcast back in the day.

Are you the same turbo dave who built the 2jz tacoma?

[Pandemic]

Wow, that's pretty sweet. What is the battery life like on that?

Actually, I was just looking at laptops on Craigslist and saw a "Toughbook".
But, I had never heard of them.

Why do I expect this to break on you soon?

[JoshM]

Stickies are useful

1) RESPECT. Respect each other. That broad statement covers a whole lot... and it is the single most important rule there is. No direct attacks (flaming) on a person, their car, or what they say. If you have a problem with someone, speak to a moderator and we will remove that problem if we see fit. Any attacks or disrespectful acts will result in YOU being removed.

I respect those that deserve it. Im not gonna get into this here. Ill let the past speak for itself.

Cool man. Those things are great. Cable guy had one when he came over. Dropped it on the concrete floor, picked it up and went back to typing like nothing happened. Haha.

The past has spoken. Nobody else needs to speak for it.



Dave, that thing is kickass. I was looking at those (not as in "I'm gonna buy one!" but more like "I wish I could buy one!") when I was shopping for a laptop last year. I KNOW that thing wasn't cheap! Should last you a good while, though.

when i was in special operations we used to jump from airplanes with toughbooks because they were part of our communications packages.. green berets carry them too..
i used to hate them because they were so small but now that im on a motorcycle 24/7 i purchased an everex stepbook its a 13" screen to be lightweight.. but its not rugged..and it rains in florida and my backpack is not goretex
im thinking about getting a toughbook myself... they are pretty hardcore especially if you commute on a bike and need something that is water resistant and shockproof.. no need for a laptop case just throw it in your backpack
the other piece of equipment i carry that is rugged is my casio g'zone phone shockproof and waterproof just thought i would share
im gonna get a toughbook myself..... ive heard stories of guys running them over with humvees just to test their strength and they didnt crush like a can..
