i'm talking toughbooks, latitudes, getac, rugged SBC cases - doesn't matter. this thread is for real capital R RETAR-- i mean RUGGED computer owners only. ever set up a fake shell company and pay more than $3000 for a custom built machine from a defense company?? - then post in this thread NOW (you will never live down not posting itt)

Modern rugged computers seem to be the closest we'll ever get to having durable laptops that don't fucking break or kill themselves 6 months after purchase. These are far from consumer-grade and I wonder if it's intentional. Good pieces of machinery regardless though

Is there a rugged version of the Thinkpad P16 Gen2?

As a Qubeschad, I cannot abide ancient hardware specs.

I love these machines. It's a great way to transition from older consumer hardware to rugged laptops. These things are better purchases than any faggot thin modern laptop on the market and it'll stay that way forever.

These rugged laptops are better than Thinkpads and I will never look back.
