Desktop in Semi Truck

Donald M.

I've considered installing a desktop in my truck.  I have plenty of room in my ultraloft. My only concern is the constant vibrations and jarring while going down the road. Should I not bother, or are current desktops fairly resistant to this?

    There are a bunch of ruggedized desktops on the market these days.  They typically range from slightly more expensive mini desktops that have few/no fans to dust and water sealed units.  You can check out the specs for those and see which one seems best if you want to go that route, I wouldn't be surprised if Lenovo sells at least one. 

    It's a bit cliche and totally off brand for this forum, but a Panasonic Toughbook is the only "right" answer for an OTR driver, given it's ubiquity in the cabs of oil/gas trucks and surveying rigs.  It's no gaming laptop, but it'll probably outlast just about anything else you might buy instead.
