Does anyone have any recommendations for a laptop that would work good in
the "field"? We're namely looking for something that would travel in the
company truck, so durability is a concern. Long battery life would also be
a consideration (although we could hook up to the power point). I'm also
wondering how a laptop would stand up to temperature extremes (Wisconsin, so
minus temps in winter to 90+ in summer).

Ideally, we'd like to be able to print customer receipts on the spot, so
we're also looking at portable printers. Do these stand up well to being
jostled around (road bumps)?

I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have.
