Toughbook users on tmo?
 
I have seen that someone here on TMO had a CF-U1 (which is a POS tbh) but that's it.

So, who /toughbook/ here? I own a 19 Mk6 (after having owned a 19 Mk5, 19 Mk2, various CF-18's and a 28 Mk2) and I love it!

Yes I also like the toughbooks and I own two of them. However I am not running linux on them. One is my diagnostic computer for cars. The other one is my gps maps device.

1. CF-29 MK3 with a custom GPS module 20 ch SiRF3.

2. CF-30 MK1

How's the touchscreen of the 30? Apparently most of them die after a few years.

I have more toughbooks than I care to mention but my favorite is the new CF-20 and I have to say it is a very nice machine has modern hardware at launch for a change.

If you never went on 8chan: lerk moar.

From what I gathered on Toughbooktalk is that the CF-20 is pretty slow.

Have you got a 31?

I don't have a 31 but a 53, 52, 51, 30, .... The 20 is NOT slow. I use it for software development and it is fast as I need...not a gamer at all.

I had a sales rep bring around a 54 - I wanted one,
but was leery of getting tripped up.

I demonstrated a SolydX (debian linux) live
on it with no problems,
the sales rep was amazed and took photos
of it running.

But the probem was the price (3500usd)
and the 11-week delivery wait which is just impossible.

The touchscreen is still alive. I bought the toughbook one year ago used in good conditions. Once it sliped down from a car engine bay and felt to the ground, after I switched on the engine which was shaking to much. I think it switched automatically off and no harm was recognisable. It is really tough.
