Strengths: Convertible, waterproof, rugged, internal nationwide wireless.
Weaknesses: 19 is the new model
Summary: Toughbook 18 WAS a great machine. The Toughbook 19 that out now tops it. I got a Toughbook 18 from USAT Corp www.usatcorp.com/... a while back and then had upgraded it to native wireless WAN, as in nationwide wireless area networking (I went with Sprint, but also avail in Verizon and Cingular). The new unit had wings on it! The guys at USAT Corp said the 18s used to have internal WAN that was not visible, but something with the FCC required the extra shielding, and these two 6” long wings on either side. Not a pretty thing. The Toughbook 19 has more power, more RAM (up to 4gb—waiting for Vista to use this much of course!) and a much brighter screen, and more battery life… and no wings. BTW—these guys at USAT Corp have been very straight up. I spoke with Lisa at 888-550-8728, they have some online ordering, but she new what was coming out from and when, and what I shouldn’t buy! Shop is for commercial mobility—so they have all the cool rugged gear—now I am going to get a car mount from them and a ‘flip-dock’ so I can leave it in tablet. Full rugged laptop, wireless everywhere, GPS, and a car mount that works in tablet…. Nice!
