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).
