i have thought about using a automotive GPS unit, but it doesn't have everything that i want, i have tons of digital maps from all over the place that i'd want in there not just road maps, also a digital version of my FSM, as well as service spreadsheets etc. basically anything thats related to my Cruiser. I did look at the cybertronPC it looks pretty good, i think that i will go with the Toughbook as they are pretty rugged, i'd like to stay away from a plastic case simply because offroad - bad bounce-dropped, knocked over etc. I do see the issue of hinges on a laptop used in a vehicle, but from personal experience the toughbook does hold up, to some very serious abuse. thanks for all the input
