Has anyone had experience with the Panasonic CF30K5PAXAM toughbook

I see alot of them for sale at State Surplus! I always wondered about them myself. I've had too good of luck with my Dell to have any interest in switching.

I have the CF72 toughbook, been using since the year 2000, had windows 98 when 1st got, now use professional XP, I have dropped it, tripped over the ac cord pulled it onto the floor from a AW3 middle platter, did this twice, both time, reboot all OK....yes it is a tough...it bounces around in my truck & still works...will not allow the Strong SCDC program to work with the USB, I can't check any SCDC brains but all else works....I would buy another one when the time comes...expensive, but worth it !!!

How well does it work with the R2 and the D2

works great with the R2 never tried on the D2, I have (2) of these laptops, one travel in the truck for Cinema work, & the other is my mobile office when I traveling. both are nines yrs. old & still kicking, both been dropped at least three times at a height of three feet, no problems, I would buy another one when the time comes just because it is tough...
