WTB: Rugged Laptop

[jfnirvana292]

I’m looking to buy an older/inexpensive rugged type laptops. Was thinking it’d be cool to take camping or on the road.

Some examples are the Panasonic toughbook, dell rugged. If none of these can be found an old thinkpad t series maybe. They’re pretty indestructible too lol.

Would be a fun project or even something similar.

Interesting. May look into it if I cannot find a good used laptop.

Edit: some of the software I run isn’t arm compatible.

And doesn't need to be specifically this one. Just an idea starter for ya. Could get really customized what what you want in it.

Dang it! Recycled a bunch of Dell rugged. Let me check if it's not too late.

Would a xTablet T1680 work?

I would have to dig it up, but I believe it's running Windows 11, i5, 8GB, 256GB at the very least. PM me if you are.

Check govdeals.com and other similar sites. We surplus these all the time. Can't be the only one.
