Alright, how about an old TP350 surviving two years of college in an
L.L.Bean backpack. Little padding esp on the bottom of the bag where
is it sat on the floor. A few hundred miles mtn biking, lots of
picking up by the screen, too many to count knocks from the desk to
the asbestos tile floor, and only a backplate replacement (the new
one was reinforced by a race car body fabricator with fiberglass!)
Oh, and the little kick stand/port cover has been ripped off (not my
doing).
