Tablet pc recommendations wanted


Can anyone recommend a good quality tablet pc that is a bit more rugged than average? Willing to spend CDN$3K (plus or minus CDN$500)....that's about US$2300 more or less.

My company is looking at getting tablet pc's for the outdoor field crews. A lot of rugged tablet pc's are typically pricey, about twice your normal tablet pc....that's NOT what we are looking for. We would prefer a tablet pc that won't fall apart or fail to operate if it gets bumped...and not too pricey (will spend a few hundred more, but not thousands for this durability). Since the tablet pc's will be used outdoors, their display should be able to function in sunny conditions. Thanks a bunch.

Dave

Don't know much about Tablet PC's but you may want to start looking at the available machines via:

They only have one manufacturer of "ruggedized" Tablet PC's, Walkabout http://www.walkabout-comp.com/products.html

The rest seem to be pretty much standard laptop-style.
