acquired to run our little DIY router, thinking I'd made a poor choice.

I have metioned in the past many times that the panasonic cf-72's and 28's
work. There may be other models as well, but these are the two I know for
sure work. I have 6 in use for day to day cnc task, no problems thus far.
These are very rugged laptops suited for shop use and output a true 5volt at
the pport. I havent tried one with SS, but I would assume it would fine. New
these sold for $2500-3500. Used/refurb are in the $300-1000 price range. I
purchased one last month from ebay for $250.
I have had issues with the run of the mill laptops, dell, hp, gateway, ect.
Low quality compared to the panasonic product.
