to ravi in post #1 -- Itronix makes actual "rugged" lappies/tablet PC's. As close to an actual rugged lappy you'll find with panasonic is either the CF-72 or maybe a CF-28... the CF-73 & CF-74 are more for your regular business traveller who doesn't seem to understand that laptops are not kickballs... the 73 and 74 are not actually rugged. An aside -- some of the Itronix equipment is actually rain-proof for a period; they have details on their webpage... and a few of the Panasonic Toughbook series are also rain-resistant... I cannot remember which ones, however.

Also, to Josh in #3 -- essentially, these are business machines and thus do not sport a "gaming" size hard drive. Actually, the CF-74 is a marked improvement over the 73, which as I recall had a lot of heat problems and couldn't deal with a dusty environment very well (I used the CF-73 and CF-72 in Iraq & the 72 faired MUCH better though it was slower and not nearly as "sleek", which mattered not)
