It may be rugged but I think you will be kicking yourself for getting something that slow. And unless you are looking to spill stuff on it, drop it, sit on it, etc. that thing is overkill. If money is an issue, there are a ton of cheap refurbed dells that will suit you well.

Here is a nice example.

Yep, that's a nice one.. Same CPU as the Panasonic CF-30. Same size HD, 2 gig ram, Windows XP already installed, built in wireless network, nice price. I like the Latitude series.. My wife uses one and I have one at work for when I'm on the road. Fast, reliable, almost bulletproof. And one other thing to remember...since Dell sells so many units, parts are always available on eBay, be it a hard drive or more memory or whatever. About the only thing I'd have to knock them on is the recharge life of their batteries..but as long as you remember to bring your powercord you can recharge them and run them right from your vehicle's 12v power socket.
