whatever you get you should put it in a big ass plastic bag because i took mine to iraq and 1 sandstorm later it was fucked.. when i got home it took like 5 hours with the compressed air cans to clean. :o

if its eventually going to the desert, I wouldnt expect it to come out of the desert. When I was there, everything and i mean everything had sand in it.

if theres one at walmart for $600-, id buy it.

For up to 1500 build your self a laptop based on an Asus barebone.. I use them all the time on customers and they are rock solid. I have built around 5 or 6 of them and non have them have had a single issue.

Asus actually makes a lot more laptops than you'd think. The new small dell and mac notebooks are all made by asus.

What you'd be buying is a laptop shell with everything but ram, harddrive, and cpu, and sometimes dvd player (depends oin model)..then you pick order some ram a harddrive and a cpu that best fits ur needs and budget. voila. amazing laptop for an affordable price. ewiz.com is where i usually end up buying my barebones from. directron.com has a few as well, and newegg has a small selection

ohh yeah, and if your going to deploy, ensure you have a good DVD player, good speakers and a good video/sound card. You will be using it alot. if you want to, also have a decent side HD to store some movies so your not lugging them around. Or pick up an external HD to put them on.

Especially the indestructible T-series. R-series is decent like leed said, but not as sturdy. Everything else is fragile plastic.

Get a T30, hatchfag, they come with up to a 2 Ghz processor and can be had for sub-$500 sometimes with a month or two of warranty left on them.

I'd be careful buying the Lenovo Thinkpads until I hear more feedback on them.
