Ideas on how to abuse a Toughbook

Looking for some ideas on videos to make abusing Toughbooks. Going to do some how to videos too. Looking for suggestions! Here is what we have so far. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQYrVE5l55I9ZF2b7AR1omA/

Could use some good ideas besides running over with steam roller. Wanna show the limits they can endure.
Thanks
Steve

 

Good one is the classic hammer/jackhammer/axe/violent gardening tool

 

Lots of videos on YouTube on Toughbooks from burying and dragging them by snowmobiles and four wheelers. You name it youtube has it. Do a search on this.... YouTube videos on toughbooks testing . They got a lot of good ones.

 

I could throw it in a horse's stable and let it get trampled on and covered in shiznit for a while. I don't think I've seen that on youtube yet.

 

Best I've seen was a CF-31 being dropped 20 feet to the deck of USS Intrepid. Don't know if I'm allowed to post links but it's here:


Maybe set one in a block of concrete and dig it out with a jackhammer? A UK TV programme blew one up with explosives - that was the final test and it died. I think even letting a tiger play with one has been done.
Has one been thrown a couple of hundred yards with a trebuchet? Probably onto grass would be best...

 

Lol, the horse idea! I would do it but There would be concern about a horse cutting its foot.
There is a couple cf-18 laying around here. I don't have anything to launch them with
Could thrown one straight up in the air and have it land on concrete?

 

I think unclemack had this one in mind:

 

lol... Reminds me of a CF-30 a customer sent back to me. It was accidentally run over by his bulldozer. He continued to use it for 2 years with external keyboard and mouse. He missed taking it out into the field so I sent him a new barebones to plug and play. He sent me to crushed unit. The LCD lid was cracked badly and the keyboard had been crushed into the LCD screen... But it still fired up!

 

I have a CF-52GUN (touchscreen model) that SHEEPMAN! sent me about 6yrs ago. The unit had been submerged. The system board is white and fuzzy, as are most of the internal components. The unit was SHEEPMANS! daily driver for a couple of yrs and has been my daily driver since I received it. The unit keeps going beyond all odds.

 

The 52 GUN He sent me is by far one of my favorites...I really dig the red led’s glowing onto the keyboard.
Every time I dig her out I have to search for how to turn the led’s on...


Sent from my CF-M33

 

Let me know when it quits. I'll send you the one with 26840 hours on it....the others I have are: 8090, 25680,700.

For the uninformed, the GUN (GUNBEAM/GUNBRAM etc.) has a CF-30 touch-panel. The keyboard is lit by red LEDs shining from the wider then usual screen bezel. The stylus has a neat little home in the bezel also.

CF-30MK3 "glass" creates a rainbow effect caused by polarization.. Some day I'll swap that for MK1 or 2.

I dropped one 30 inches or so onto slate one time and it cost me $3.18 to fix it. Cracked the fingerprint reader filler piece.

This is the toughest of the semi-rugged Toughbooks.

 

I would say from Mr.Ibreakthingsonpourpuse to give it to either a cow or a dog. Maybe even a lion. @SHEEPMAN! The 52GUN is nice and also yes it is one of the toughest semi rugged toughbook

 

No worries. I will definitely let you know when it quits. I think this unit probably has over 26840 hrs on it. A little over 3 yrs of running 24/7 gives you over 26,000 hrs. I know I have put that many hrs on this GUN, probably more. Then there is the hrs you put on it and how ever long the original owner used it, before it was submerged. Probably closer to 30k.

I agree with you about the GUN being the toughest of the semi-rugged Toughbooks.
