Sounds like you want one of those Toshiba Tough Books.

I agree, they need to start making computers TOUGH. Being that the sole purpose to use a PORTABLE COMPUTER is in the fact that it's PORTABLE, it's therefore subject to much harsher treatment than a desktop. But no one wants to make them stronger. Just lighter.

Until a customer drops it, breaks the screen and the HD screws itself and looses $100K worth of data. Then they want tough, not light...
