The Durabook R10 is a true heavyweight designed for extreme working environments. With a solid magnesium chassis, brightness exceeding 1,000 cd/m², and a clever hot-swap battery system, the Durabook R10 is well-suited for rugged outdoor use.

    I mean, sometimes you need this, but I’ve bought used Panasonic ToughPads for a quarter of the price that are perfectly fine.

      I work on heavy mining equipment and I tell the techs who are looking for a laptop to just buy something cheap because when you drop it off the top of a machine it’s still just as broken.

        Same here, which is why I like the used Toughpads. 10’ from the cab of a 4WD to the concrete isn’t going to do any tablet any good.

        The advantage of these ones is that they’re generally designed for outdoor use, so they pump the brightness up high enough to see in the cab of a tractor full of windows. You don’t get that from a consumer tablet.
