My old Dell laptop is getting unreliable, and it's not worth fixing.
Thinking about a new laptop, and want some views about the Mac laptop

Are they more physically robust?
Thinking about shock resistance, and water/moisture resistance.

All help appreciated.
Boaters only, please. Because it's solely for boat use.


You can get industrial water proof ones. Some even run off of 12v. Just
google around.


Thanks. That worked. Industrial is the key word. Found this,

Looks good and price is within my range.
Anybody here using one of these?
The specs don't give graphics capability.
Will it run YouTube videos and handle Windows 7 animated solitaire?
