What are your favorite insane laptops?

Mine is the Dell Rugged: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F56ION4_n0

Bump and fall proof, liquid proof, sand proof (and cat hairs proof I assume), extreme heat/cold proof, can be used as a blunt weapon in an emergency. Ridiculously overkill for anyone that's not a geologist working in Antarctica or an archaeologist in the Gobi desert, and ridiculously overkill is fun

Those things aren't as rugged as they imply. Go for a brief jaunt and skip a little while swinging it by the handle. It'll turn into a laptop shaped projectile and leave a dent in both the ground and your wallet.

Who's going to start the YouTube channel for it called "Kennit?" where you see just what you can use it to do? First episode should be as an oar.

Getac made some pretty cool ones.

The newer ones don't have the weird gel keyboard, they're pretty sweet.

I've got a CF-25 here. I keep meaning to find the power supply and seeing if it still works :)
