Hi Michael, I have a Panasonic Toughbook (CF-Y4) that I am very happy with. It is lightweight (about 3 lbs), resistant and the battery lasts for 6-7 hours. They tend to be a bit more expensive, but I bought mine refurbished from this site and have not had any problems. http://www.toughbookxchange.com Anita Anita I.

I am confused by the adverts of "rugged", "semi-rugged", etc. My needs are fairly simple - a laptop I can use in the rain (it doesn't have to be tough enough to be dropped from a building!) - lightweight for carrying out to the field and rainproof. I would appreciate any informaiton anyone could provide - thanks in advance.
