    Well it's not cheap...but I want it :D

    The basic 1366 x 768 HDD machine will set you back $2100.00. Go for the top-of-the-range Full HD machine with an SSD and touchscreen and that jumps to $2600.00 . Options such as the AMD GPU or larger capacity SSD will bump that figure higher yet.

    4.2 lbs,that gets it down to the CF-C2 range. I fear for its survivability when the military guys get ahold of it. Been there,seen that and I drove Main Battle Tanks,those boys can tear some stuff up.

    Question is: How easy can Kent T kill this new model? If it survives spastic me, it's worthy. Anything lesser isn't to my mind deserving of the ToughBook label or is a business rugged.
