We have some very nice A+ grade Dell XFR laptops, all with SSD installed. these are drop, heat, cold, wet and spill proof machines which only weakness was the Hard Drives which relied on spinning and moving parts to work, which could not handle throwing the laptop from the dock onto your boat, for example. Now with SSD they are virtually indestructible and a great machine for using outdoors in any weather and condition. Starting at 600$ I have several as new models with customize-able specs, all with i5 3.2Ghz 4 thread processors. Each one is equipped with a nice red backlit keyboard that can be turned on or off.
