The Panasonic has rave reviews all over the web and is likely to be the direction I go with my next laptop however, the Itronix (General Dynamics) GoBook X-R1 is SHITE! Absolute shite. I'm not saying this based solely upon my personal experience, but the experience of my former employer who bought and deployed five of these turds, only to have all of them fail. They are horrible, stay away.
I have a CF-18 (Panasonic) that has worked great for my purposes but OP's needs and my own aren't completely aligned. Years ago, performing military operations in the Mojave, we had regular old laptops and went through lots and lots of canned air. This may very well be the best option even to this day.
Full Disclosure: I now work for a company that competes directly with GD, however the company that purchased, deployed, and eventually gave away the XR-1s to its employees (myself included) due to their uselessness had nothing against GD and actually wanted them to work. Suckers!
