    I must say that my CF-31 is just unbelievable in the heat! The scales tipped at 100 degrees Fahrenheit today and the sun was shining DIRECTLY on the BOTTOM of my CF-31 while we were using it today to listen to music whilst slaving over staining a deck in the blistering sun! GOOD LORD was it terrible! SO DAMN HOT that I wouldn't wish it upon anyone! I'm interesting to know how hot the bottom of it was (black). I'm thinking that it was WELL OVER 160+ degrees.

    What do you all think??

    The Toughbook ran FINE, JUST FINE!

    Anyways, after the toughbook cooked in the sun for about 5 hours I couldn't even pick it up because it was SO HOT that even the handle burned my hand! I had to use the shoulder strap to pick it up.

    Tomorrow it will be subjected to the same heat and I SERIOUSLY WILL try to fry an egg on it. I will let you know how the egg turns out :) and will provide pictures too :)

    Just wanted to throw this out there :D

    Just to check, when you say degrees, is that fahrenheit or celsius?
