My friend's Macbook Pro is solid as a rock, you could literally beat someone to death with it.

Panasonic Toughbook, Itronix GoBook, Dell XFR. The macbook pro's will dent and warp, there's no shock absorption built into them, so the displays will shatter as well. They will park the heads in a fall, but that's more of a drive function than anything anymore.

I got to use one of these GD Itronix laptops.
They are really nice extremely expensive. The model I got to mess around with was about $10,000 U.S. My project manager deliberately brought it out into the ran to work on it while was running and nothing happened to it. Probably a bit more than the average user needs. He said one could drop it and it would not damage it. But he didn't go that far. The rain was enough I suppose.

I used to have an older Itronix laptop. I've thrown it down the hallway once or twice to test it. No issues. I finally got rid of it when you couldn't get batteries for it anymore.

That's a shame! Could you not use it while it was plugged in or did that not work either?
