    My friend told me that when he was searching for a laptop at Best Buy there was a Best buy guy who was helping somebody who was intersted in a Panasonic Toughbook I believe he said it was the Y-2 version, the one with the circle touch pad apparently when He was showing the toughness of the notebook he was flexing the screen when crack the screen cracked in half. I heard that the Y-2 are very not durable is this true?

    i routinely stand on my CF-28, and toss it around a little (powered off). kickace, on that note, wanted to let you know I work in Columbia, and live just a little outside town. I am a zero sports guy, but I did watch that tonight.

    Yes Gravitar, but not the fully rugged models. They sell semi rugged on down but at my local store they have to order them from panasonic. My local does not stock them.
