Is anyone shockproofing their laptop, or just sitting them on a table?

It's been done for you already. Search for Itronix or "Panasonic
Toughbook" on ebay. Many bargains available.

Toughbooks are pretty popular among firefighters and in the military,
but I still had issues pretty fast with mine when I was living on my
boat. It didn't seem to hold up any better than a Toshiba that I had,
but it could be that I had a lemon.

Good thread!
