I am headed to Honduras in the Peace Corps and need a good durable notebook to take with me. I can’t spend more than maybe ,500 but I need it to be pretty durable since I will be leaving it there (I will donate it to a school or organization at the end of my service). I don’t want it to poop out on me, or especially them! Should I go semi-rugged or fully rugged on the laptop? Any suggestions?

Best rugged or semi-rugged laptops or tablet PC for work in factory-lots of weld dust?

Manufacturing sector. Needs to run multiple SAP screens. Will probably be dropped at one point or another. Lightweight because our facility is large and I walk back and forth all day in 1/4 mile segments. Help please. Thank you so much!
Recommend laptop or Tablet PC? I don’t know if there will be a surface to set the computer on.
I wanted to have them purchased by this afternoon, but I think I ‘m going to have to make next Friday the deadline.

That is the link to the SAP page, it’s how we do everything for all our facilities worldwide.
I used a tablet that was 4 pounds for a week and, while it was ok, it got pretty hot and I found that the “keyboard” screen didn’t track the pen as well as I would have liked, but it was very rugged. A few of the technicians here wouldn’t even carry it around because they said it was too heavy (to which I replied, then you obviously don’t need it badly enough—but I did, so I carried it all week and it wasn’t too bad).

are semi-rugged laptops as durable as they claim?
