Casey,
I use computers, specifically tablet PC’s in the field, stateside, for geospatial data collection. I recently purchased a Gateway over the Panasonic, purely based on the fact that I could buy three of the Gateways for the same expense. When assigned to a CST WMD I used both when operational and never had problems with either. I like the Panny due to the fact that we could remove and store hard drives separate of the computer.
I have not had to deal with the dust associated in the current AO; but I find the Panny a little overpriced especially for equipment presumably for personal use. One of my IT guys tried to talk me into something a little more rugged, and if you like when I get to work tomorrow, I will ask him for his recommendations. My parents used to buy me stuff when I was in SF (like a vibro-flex), without ever thinking of price, so if he needs it obviously go for it.
