    We purchased Panasonic Toughbooks about 4 or 5 years ago for our
    bookmobile because they are pretty indestructible. Our bookmobile
    staff is very rough on their equipment and were constantly running
    into repair issues with regular laptops. The Toughbooks don't need a
    carrying case for protection, have a built-in handle, all ports have
    covers to keep out dirt and dust, and they work great. You can get
    them through CDW-G.<br>
