Eldest son works for a company that makes parts for all kinds of computers, 
or rather he did until they bought a house in Idaho and moved <g>  He said 
there are laptops that are made for "industrial" use and stand up to some 
pretty tough treatment.  Not something you'll find at Staples or WallyWorld 
but stuff they market for businessmen that do a lot of traveling.

I'll have to ask him what make and model.  He had one and he took some 
pretty rough knocking about and was dropped more than once.

Of course, they come with a higher price tag.
