    I saw a CF31 Mk 3 advertised on eBay described as having "low hours" at 5500 hours.

    ... which got me thinking that would be someone using the laptop for 7 to 8 solid hours 7 days a week for 2 full years,

    or tapping away at the keyboard for 24 hours every single day for nearly 8 months without stopping or switching the laptop off.

    Both of which seem to me to be a very high level of use.

    How does the Toughbook record the accumulated hours? Does the laptop have to be being used or just switched on and does it count sleeping/hibernating?

    5500 hours is really not a lot. My CF-53 has over 16000 . No it does not count when it is sleeping or hibernating.

    30000 is ok too if there is led, not lamp, backlight.
    5500 one may look and work like new.
