Re: Photo laptop recommendations?

Douglas:
Yes, it seems virtually anything proof. But with average computer lifetimes of two years, it's not worth buying a laptop anywhere near this expensive.

Hi, Mark
it's much too heavy, but this is probably the ultimate in ruggedized notebooks - not that I ever thought of dropping one 3-feet on to a steel plate :-)

Probably costs a fortune too - I didn't look that far

This is my month for failing equipment, sometimes from butterfingered treatment.
The display on my three-year-old Fujitsu S2010 had been displaying inconsistent color quality. Last week it fell about three feet on my foot, and the display stopped working altogether. Repair would be about $450 with a new display. I don't think it's worth it.
What recommendations do any of you have for a lightweight (no more than 5.5 pounds), 14-inch screen, at least 80GB 5400rpm, 1-2GB RAM, Vista-ready laptop for field-editing of images? 

Thanks!
