ITRONIX GoBook 2 II IX260 Rugged 1.7/512/40 WiFi LAPTOP
(ITRONIX GoBook 2 II IX260 Rugged 1.7/512/40 WiFi LAPTOP | eBay).
Panasonic Toughbook CF-73 MK5 Touchscreen 2.0 GHz Pentium M 2GB Ram Low Hours
(Panasonic Toughbook CF-73 MK5 Touchscreen 2.0 GHz Pentium M 2GB Ram Low Hours 0092281849850 | eBay). the seller can set the hard drive and power supply for an additional cost.
Panasonic Toughbook CF-50J2KUEKM Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz 768MB 40GB Laptop (Panasonic Toughbook CF-50J2KUEKM Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz 768MB 40GB Laptop | eBay).

Panasonic toughbook Let's Note R4
(Panasonic toughbook Let's Note R4 | eBay). I can not assess the degree (estimate the degree) of protection…
Complete System: Military Grade Panasonic Toughbook CF-28 – outside the budget, probably the best choice by criterion the price / reliability?
I can choose from the proposals of this type or not? Will these variants work? Or is it better to pay attention to PS tablet from China (there is already a models with built-in GPS)? I would not want to lose money because of my incompetence.
Thank you! Again, sorry for the poor language.

I was offered a Panasonic CF-M34: 933 MHz/256 MB / HDD 40GB for $ 170 with delivery. I understand that it is as old as the mammoth feces ... It is also protected as a CF-18? In its favor - small size (it is important for the car). Who that will advise?
