    Having multiple toughbooks I should probably get rid of an older CF-29 that I built.
    CF-29 MK-5 2GB memory although only 1.5 shows
    Thouchscreen that is very bright with no blemishes less than 9,000 hours on the clock
    Upgraded the wifi card to a high powered Atheros unit
    US global sat GPS built in with active antenna in the left palm rest area
    The GPS usually locks into 6 or more sats
    Separate on-off switch for the GPS added on the left front panel opposite the power switch
    Includes extra media bay battery and media bay DVD and floppy
    All port covers and factory power brick.
    Runs Windows 7 Professional perfectly with all the drivers
    I know I will never get equal to the time and $$ I put into it but I am now using a newer model
    now and the longer I keep this one, I know I will get less and less
    What do you think??

    I have given some of my older units away as Christmas gifts.
    It seemed like a better idea the whole way around rather than selling them for pennies.

    Yesterday I sent out an older tablet as a surprise Christmas gift.

    Install Navigatrix software for boaters and sell it for $200. Pair it with a VDW07 wireless display to display maps in the cockpit and sell for $300.

    Put it on eBay for at least $200.00 . I know it's worth more with everything you have in it but when you start going over $200.00 you will be in the CF-30/31 range.

    Very nice, I liked the CF-29 because it was so solid and reliable. Sold a LOT of them. :D
