Laptop suggestions
I need to buy a new laptop in the next couple of weeks, and I haven't been able to make any decisions about models that I particularly like. Here's a couple of things that will be important about the computer:
-fairly small (12.1-14" screen)
-fairly rugged (not Toughbook rugged)
-not very specific on specs...2.4 Ghz Intel, 2 GB ram, 120+ GB is fine, etc
Any suggestions? Looking to spend about $1400 (Canadian) tops...

Check out the Lenovo T61's. I have the T60 and this thing is tough as a rock. For mid $1200's you can get that in the exact specs you want (2.4Ghz, 2Gb ram, 14.1" monitor, etc.)
I had a Toshiba and really didn't find it to be tough at all. Just my 2 cents.

I have to say that Dell makes a tough laptop, Latitude model anyway. I have been working on one in my spare time the last couple days and found out that it has been seriously mistreated, and still works. I doubt you will intensionally be pushing yours off the end of the bed, which is what this one has had to endure.

I've had a few issues with the durability of Compaq laptops but that was before HP bought Compaq. I have another HP laptop and it's a business laptop. Spilled diet cola on it. Didn't know I should have turned it off immediately. Kept letting it run after the spill and it still works... that is what i call a tough laptop!
The USB ports act a little funkay but it still works...
