Accumulative Operating Hours

Whats to many, getting near end of life and whats good ?

 

got a few cf-29's with 20K plus hours and still run fine. have a cf-30 with 27K hours and the screen is just a bit dim but seems OK to me. TB's are what they say they are,tough!..Driller

 

So 4240 is not a lot then if you have 20 \ 27k and still running fine

Thanks

 

4200....its not even broke in yet. That's only like having it on for a half a year. I have had my 52 for over a year and I never turn it off.

 

Jeez, I have my work Cf 18 and its got THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS, 8+ years old, still ticking. My 19 is 2 1/2 years old and 6000+... All is good with Toughbooks!!!

 

IIRC I did 1800 hours in 6 months. So 4240 is like a good year of work and not something to worry about!
You see sometimes laptops that are 5 or 6 years old with only 100 hours orso on them. I always suspect them of being tempered with... Not sure it's even possible, but it just looks to good to be true. 4240 seems like a good used two year old one or a light used 4 year old TB.

 

Thats good news, the CF19 Mk2 Ive just got is only got 900 hours

 

I've got 2 CF-29s Mk2, but i dont see any operating hours in the bios screen. Is this option only for the MK4 / MK5 CF-m29s ?

 

Yes, I believe the MK4 CF-29 was the first to show accumulated hours.

I bet you can get some big style hours on these things??

o.g.

 

I've seen a CF-29 MK5 with 47,000 hours on it... That's about 5.37 years STRAIGHT! The screen is shot! BEYOND dim, alas, it STILL WORKS FINE and the touchscreen works too!

Toughbooks rock!

 

I think it doesn't, that's why I'm always a bit curious when old, old laptops are sold on fleabay with next to nothing in hours and clear signs of use.

 

If you flash the BIOS to a newer one it KEEPS the hours!

Thanks

 

The only unit I've got with accumulated hours is a 29 MK5....so I should have around 44K left in the tank.

Fingers crossed.

 

That's good to read, so these are pretty much tamper proof??

 

Dude....not tamper proof....Ultra-Rugged.

 

Uuuhm dude, i was thinking that not being able to reset the hours when flashing the bios would mean that it's separate/extra protected in the newer models.

 

So....Ultra-Rugged & a service life of 40K hours +....lovin it george....lovin it.

 

Alecgold....with your CF-19 MK5 being a later model....I bet ya get 50K+ hours.

 

hehehe, using it a lot indeed, but 50k hours?? At this rate I'm using it around 3600 hours a year, so that's 14 years to use it 50k hours! I'm afraid I'll have a bionic/built-in computer by then
