FWIW, I used a netbook in Icky-stan in a bouncy, dusty, filthy Hummer for a number of months and it performed quite well. It had a regular HD and not a SSD drive and only failed when a round went through the screen. Even then, we got an old school 17" monitor that we rigged to the dash and kept on ticking. We went through three monitors (two quit, one caught some shrapnel) but the netbook kept on ticking. The only mod was putting pantyhose over the keyboard/lower portion to try and keep excess dust out.
