Laptops with rugged keyboards for Primary use

[raufdean]

Hi all,

I'm investigating buying a batch of laptops. After the last set ended up with several laptops with keys missing, I'm interested in laptops with good solid keyboards and screens around 13".

I've had a look at the Thinkpad Edge 13 which, although having scrabble style keys, does not look hugely rugged, and the keys actually pop off very easily..

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Rauf

They survive builders and the like, so they should just about survive Primary Schools .. lol ..

We have some Toshiba NB200 which seem rugged enough for use in one of my schools, however the screen is smaller than what you require.
