need i say more?

well i guess i should clarify. a friend of mine is looking to purchase a rugged laptop. one that can survive falling from maybe table or hip height onto say...hardwood floors, concrete, the ground...

now as soon as i say that, you'll say look at the toughbooks. the thing with that is, i'm not sure if they're powerful enough for the kind of gaming she does. most commonly she plays Sims and some other similar games. of course, they're not heavy on graphics. but with games taking a step into next-gen graphics, i'd say make it future proof. something with a geforce in it.

the toughest aspect to nail on this is she says it absolutely has to be a tablet pc. the best graphics card those come with is the geforce go 6150. which is good enough. but i don't know if any tablets satisfy an "if i drop it it will live" condition.

i did a little bit of searching and came up sorta empty. i was wondering if you guys had anything in mind.

Tablet
Tough
Good graphics

It's pretty much a 'pick two' situation. The Fujitsu Lifebook P1620 is tablet, it's also really light and has a capability for solid state so it can probably survive big falls. However, its graphics aren't that great.

So, going to have to pick two from that list.
