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
lineup.
Are they more physically robust?
Thinking about shock resistance, and water/moisture resistance.
I'm guessing the Macs will handle all the common nav software, but
maybe not.
All help appreciated.
Boaters only, please. Because it's solely for boat use.

We got our grand daughter a Disney (Asus) hardened kid notebook that
looks pretty tough. It already spent a night out on the yard in the
rain and survived. The one we got has a solid state drive so there are
no moving parts. This machine is 1.6 gz.
I assume they make a more capable one in a similar case.

I'll check that out. SSD is a real good idea for a laptop.

Especially since it has no heads (moving parts) to crash.
