Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 MK5
Windows 7
That's what I use. The good thing is if you do some shopping you can pick one up for about $300-$400 with a new SSD. It has a 10inch screen which can be too small for some but is nice when you don't have counter space. It does NOT have an optical drive. Not a big deal since sapphires are going away and you can always use an external. After owning a few Toughbooks I would never consider anything else for work use.
Backup laptop CF-74
Windows XP
Another great option that's cheaper, has a bigger screen and optical drive.
I would stay away from XP. Everything will work fine on Windows 7.

Our techs have had their T60 for 6+ years
Except for dropping them
We are migrating to the T4xx series
