We are in the process of replacing our laptops. Does anyone know of any laptops with backlit keyboards that are not the super expensive Panasonic Toughbooks or Motorolas. The ones I found are $5K and up. Looking at untis up to $3K. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

We just got 9 of the Panasonic Toughbooks CE-28's not sure on the price but I will see if I can find out. They are nice laptops with the backlit boards but the device that holds the screen in place leaves a lot to be desired and I still have not found a way to tighten it to prevent it from either falling forward or backward while responding to a call or traveling down a bumpy road.

Look at http://www.itronix.com. They make laptops for military applications so they may not be any cheaper than panasonic or motorola, but they're worth a look. The one I tried was well put together and waterproof as well.
