Except for this bit - you can buy 30 of them to one Toughbook. :) “In November, you’ll be able to buy a new laptop that’s spillproof, rainproof, dustproof and drop-proof.

The screen is not as bright as a typical laptop today, but it does work well outdoors, which my thinkpad struggles with. And the Wi-Fi antennae are too cool for words! I just hope they don't end up being the piece that breaks off easily; I think for a rugged laptop I'd have tried to minimise the moving parts, and bits that stick out.
