When picking the right tool for the job.  Differences in construction can make or break the efficiency of how well the job will get done.  Case in point is the differences between a ruggedized Panasonic Toughbook and a Semi-ruggedized Toughbook.  Some examples of a ruggedized laptop would be models like the Panasonic Toughbook CF-30, CF-29, CF-28, CF-27, CF-19, and the CF-18.  These laptops are considered the standard in ruggedized construction
They can withstand heat, cold, vibration, dirt and grime, and even a fall from your desk. Some examples of the semi rugged laptop would be the CF-48, CF-50, CF-51, CF-72 and the CF-52.  These are not built as rugged as the others however they can withstand some minor hardships.
The question is not how much are they?  The question should be which model is best for my application.  Lets face it if you shopped price and found the semirugged unit was cheaper which of course it is and you put that unit into a harsh environment that laptop will fail even though it is a toughbook.  Remember you need the right tool for the job.  You wouldn’t use a hack saw to cut down a 30 foot tree.
