Yea, I googled xplore and learnt myself. I hate it when I do that... post and then search.

That thing is warrantied to survive being dropped on concrete! They apparently drop them 26 times from many angles onto many surfaces to test them! But yeah, it is found in many police cruisers.

Not the fastest pc, but not bad considering!

My only issue with those is that they're not particularly aesthetically pleasing.
Rugged is good, especially in a Land Rover.

in a Land Rover which does a fair amount of off road and runs a decent risk of running into 4 -5 feet of water on the trail, it does serve its purpose well...shock proof, water proof and to be honest...not too much of a slug once tweaked...now this is comparing it to my Alienware laptop..P4 3.2 gig and so on...
I dont run too much on it to be honest...but it serves its purpose well...and is removable if I wanna take it out the truck to get a visual on a map feature with Topo 5.0...gotta love that

Actually, I just googled it, and it says it uses a PIII 866MHz -m chip. The extra cache must make a hell of a difference. Wouldn't that be faster than the M10000? I thought that the M10000 runs like a 700-800MHz machine.

Here are the specs of the one that I will probably end up buying once I have a job again and another car. Perfectly fast enough for a car environment.
