Yes, Panasonic has a broad suite of laptops with various ruggedness capability...some that look like they'd come through an IED better than the vehicle.
At trade shows, they appear to specialize on that although others have ruggedized laptops too. If you need ruggedness, you may want to consider daylight-readable screens as my friend requires as he wanders about outdoors using it. Don't think you can see the screen of an ordinary laptop LCD outside in sunlight. There are various versions of that technology, too. Some have super-bright backlight and some use the sunlight in a reflective mode. My Nokia E61i, for example, is a phone that has a full browser (and Wi-Fi) and is very viewable in bright sunlight in it's reflective mode screen. . . .

I am in the market for a new one and I know that Panasonic makes a nice rugged laptop, but was wondering if there is a better laptop out than that and if that is my only option.
