I have a cf-39. pretty nice. the touchpad is shit but you can use a wireless mouse easily.

the back left of the cf30 has DVD drive - if you remove it, is there pin out for cool shit like USB and PCI in there? also, can the battery be re-celled without a dremel? i have a cf-19, and i've been negotiating with a company that manufactures laptops for the US military to get a better machine. their pricing is pretty high, and i'm trying to figure out if there are cheaper options. specifically, i need something i can integrate a hackRF into

I have a cf-39 not cf-30 but you can replace the dvd drive with an extra battery. I don't know enough to say for sure if the cf-39 has room for a hackRF chip but it has room for a 4G cellular card and a GPU add on. I don't own either because they are too expensive though.

these look pretty nice, but are they really worth it over a standard consumer model? the average sharty poster (me) probably probably isn't gonna put in conditions more strenuous than a 3ft drop

if you don't care about specs over a long period of time, if you like removable batteries and hard drives, if you're clumsy or use a computer outside often, if you want to customise your machine for a specific purpose, and if you buy spare parts with your initial purchase or can reliably find them online - then it's probably worth it. i treat my rugged machines with more care than consumer ones (i like to punch consumer laptops). there are other benefits to using a rugged machine, like having a resistive touchpad instead of capactive (capactive does random things like zoom out 100%, scroll to the end of a page, or select every file in a folder if you touch them the wrong way), having strong hinges, dust covers, wifi kill switches, no webcam, etc. generally speaking they're just better designed machines, because they're made to be used - not for a profit margin before going into the landfill

How do you access the bios menu on a cf-31? mine came with winglows 11 and I want to change it to 10 or 7 without losing any of the shit it came installed with.

>resistive touchpad
IDK I hate how less responsive it is but like I said earlier the shell is so thick you can move a mouse on it like you would on a desk.

those specs don't sound bad at all, how do you acquire a ruggedized 'top?

ebay probably, since new machines can be in the $3000 - $10000 range. if you must buy a new machine, resellers will almost always be cheaper than the manufacturer. only buy from the manufacturer if you're ordering a special snowflake customized unit. some companies will ignore your enquiries if youre not a state or business entity. if they do respond, they may also assume you're rich and try to rip you off. some manufactuers also won't sell you spare parts unless you're a reseller yourself. ebay is generally your best bet. buy a late model panasonic toughbook cf19 or cf31 - they're easy to find and spare parts are very available however albeit in any case though
