Many police departments lease the Panasonic toughbook laptops for their
patrol cars. That means that you can usually find deals on Ebay and
elsewhere for 3 year old toughbooks that came off of a lease at very
reasonable prices. They have many advantages over other laptops and
notebooks. They are water resistant/proof so they can be used on deck,
even in the rain, and the displays are truly daylight viewable. These
things are very popular with construction companies and arctic
expeditions, too. One of the specs is that they can be dropped from 6
feet onto concrete WHILE RUNNING. If you spill coffee on the keyboard,
just rinse it off with water! :-)

I have a spare hard drive for that if I can get the drivers to work.
Last time I tried to load Ubuntu on a 600 series it did not work at
all. For anyone wondering about it, OpenCPN is available for Linux and
Mac too. So far the only issue I have really had was a decade of
hot/cold/damp/salt was about as much as the old IBM could stand.
