I travel quite a bit and although I have a netbook, I have to say the toughbook has been a great asset when I am on the road. I love the light weight of the laptop and the built in handle. Whenever I travel people are impressed by the handle and I always get a kick out of letting them feel how light weight the machine is.
I was with a group of mom bloggers this weekend in California and one of them tweeted that I need a new computer because she was going to snatch my toughbook!
One of the best things that I did on my latest trip was using while in flight. Wireless was available on my flight and once we reached 25,000 feet I turned on my toughbook and communicated with friends near and far!
The portability and light weight of my toughbook really are bonuses and I cannot believe I was able to get by without one!
