    This is a great machine, Bobby, but the outdoor view-ability still makes the CF-30 a better machine for your use. You need the 1,000 nit screen for what you are doing, friend.

    It is SO funny that you knew EXACTLY what I meant! :D

    Edit: to the others... Someone started an Ebay Deals thread several years ago. For a while it worked... Then sellers started checking out our thread to see if they were in the "Deals" column... If they were they would raise their price.

    I truly believe that thread influenced Toughbook & Toughbook parts prices for months! It probably still does to some degree as they know what's hot and what's not.

    The thread had over a million hits as I recall... It got WAY big... We closed it down to make it go away. Not to say this one should. An occasional one is good to let others know what is out there. The other thread was a running deals thread that was constantly updated. ;)
