Note on toughbook

I have a toughbook CF-30 and I really like it. It was a lot faster than I originally thought it would be. It is very sturdy, I have dropped it numerous times onto concrete.

There are a few drawbacks to it though. The built in mouse tracker takes some getting used to as it is not very sensitive at all. The screen is very small compared to other notebooks. It is kinda heavy if you are used to lighter machines, it weighs nearly 8.5 pounds. And the major drawback is the price, they are very expensive.

Numerous good things as well. Built in blue tooth, the screen brightness is excellent and is viewable still in direct sunlight while on battery. Also the battery life is excellent, as mine averages 8 hours, and that is with my built in wireless always on. Another note, it has a serial port were as most other notebooks do not, this is very important to me as I use it a lot for work. And it comes with Windows XP.
