While the mini laptops are very handy, you might find good value in a used
ruggedized notebook. Many notebooks are made of very thin material, and won't
survive any drop test.
I use a military-grade General Dynamics (Itronix) GoBook II. The GoBook III is
also affordable used. Other good makes are the Panasonic Toughbook and the
Amrel Rocky. Be very careful with the toughbooks, as many models are not fully
rugged, and will not stand up to much abuse. If choosing a used unit, choose
something like a CF-27 or other fully rugged design.
I bought my unit via eBay.
