Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Toughbooks I agree, a Core i5 is overkill... which is why the ones we have are older core 2 versions, but it isn't huge and heavy, it's less than a pound more than that thinkpad, and it'll take far more abuse. On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 4:20 PM, Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuh...@gmail.

In my opinion, if you're giving them to installers, yes it's better than three of those. It all depends what you're doing with it though... I'd rather buy one and have it last a few years than buy three per year. On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 3:53 PM, Joshaven Mailing Lists wrote:

Looks like a good deal to me. CF-19's are by far my favorite field laptop. On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 3:40 PM, Travis Johnson wrote: > Hey... Not sure if this is a good deal or not, but Woot has Toughbooks for > sale right now: > > >
