I have read the headaches that people had with installing Windows7 on the cf-29 that was only designed for xp. I DO NOT wish to go that route because, I use my laptop for work. I need a functioning Windows 7 with touch screen, audio, with Wifi on my Cf-29. I will install the signature software, antivirus, and other apps on my own. I cannot be wihout a working toughbook laptop as I use in the field to get signatures from my customers every day. The CF-29 I own is a CF-29NTQG2BM model. I do not have my notebookreview setup to send me email any time I get a response. So please send a reply if you have hard drives ready to go. My hard drive is a 160 gig model. Send replies to vendor att netvergent.ca
Also, I would like to be a seller/distributor of toughbooks. If you are in the exclusive market of selling hardware and toughbooks, and not as a hobby, then please let me know.

If your need this that bad then the best advice I can give you is look into buying a CF-30 MK2 or MK3 or even a 19 MK2 and up. These Toughbooks run W7 great. I have W7 on all my 19's and 30's and I have never had a problem. The prices have dropped a lot in the last 6 months or so that you could pick one up for around $75.00 to $150.00 . Stay away from the 19/30 MK1 because they have problems with there touch screens.
If you are looking to buy Toughbooks at wholesale then check out your local police/government auctions. This is where many sellers get there Toughbooks. -
This should be in the buy/sell/trade forum.
Curious...What amount of money are you prepared to spend?
What you are asking will require bit of time to build.. I personally would bill for a minimum of 4 hours...
You are looking at between $160 and $200. For that kind of money, you can get a CF30...toughasnails likes this. -
yes, you are probobebly right. Perhaps wasting time on a old laptop. BTW, I intent to have two laptops, one for doing everything non work related, and everything that is work related. A cf-19 I suspect with the rotatable display can work. But also, like to find a supplier because in general, been really happy with my laptop as far as hough durable the hardware has been and the life of the battery.
I can consider a cf-19 Good to hold with its strap on the hand, and use it like a pad. Who is a reputable seller of these units? I live/work at the NW corner of the state of washington, in Canada so if I decide to resell to clients the shipping/cost cannot be to long. -

It does sound like the 19 would be better for you. Easy to carry and a lot lighter. You can also buy a strap for the back of it (x-strap) to make it easyer to handle.
