End of Fiscal and its time to replace the laptop - looking at Toughbook 40 vs 55. Anyone have comments about them?
I need the ruggedness, I'm on towers, in rain, bright sun, moving vehicles. I also wear out the external connectors on the Precisions I usually get. Especially the Ethernet port.
Is the screen bright enough for use outdoors, 1000 nits vs 1100 nits. I know a nit is a unit of brightness but without something to compare it to...
Is the 14inch screen big enough for programming PLC ladders? I prefer 17in laps but can't get them in that size.
I have heard of Getacs but haven't heard much positive about them.
Any quick thoughts.
