Reviews describe it as "Nearly invincible and invulnerable", but did they toddler test it?

Toddler nothing, my cat apparently knows more macros than I do.

I picked up a construction-grade tablet PC back in 2010, and while I haven't been todler-tough on it, it's still running great and the peace of mind of it being so rugged has been great.

Fuck, this makes me wish my dad had taught me Linux so I had that knowledge growing up and didn't have to learn it from scratch now as an adult

Daughters Christmas present was a toy laptop because we didn't want her just watching YouTube but at least she can learn typing and basic skills...

Nope, it's an ABCDE keyboard instead of QWERTY... No transferable skills at all. Should have just bought a $50 last generation netbook and installed Linux on it.

Vim and Emacs were made by cats after all

Some skills may transfer, in her classrooms she will see the alphabet and perhaps remember it from her laptop

What is it

[angrycommiekender@lemmy.world]

Standard law enforcement laptop in the US, also used in the military sometimes, because it's all but indestructible. Generally they are a few years behind on internal components.

I was a tech reviewer back then and I remember them doing a demo at a show with a Humvee driving over it. Not even a banged up screen in the demonstration. Truly impressive. Gel "envelope" around the HDD, gaskets throughout for water protection, metal alloy body (back when everyone else was still using plastic).

Couple of years later and I got a smaller, slightly less ruggedized version to test as well and turned my 2 1/2 yr old loose on it and absolutely no issues. So toddler tested almost two decades ago!

The toughbooks are generally made by Panasonic

[wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world]

last generation

netbook

WHAT YEAR IS IT?

[biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works]

I would wager that getting a toughbook would be a little overkill. I remember one of my friends in primary school, who was on a step ladder taking posters off the classroom wall, dropped his fully open ThinkPad 11e on the ground, not even a scratch.

My brother had one in 2003 that I accidentally broke. Apparently I still feel bad about it. Not sure why.
