Where I work they have been talking about upgrading the Toughbooks on all the forklifts. Well came in today and wow . Brand new CF-19zA001CM MK8. ..about $5000.00 each Canadian. Heard they bought 40 for our plant and another 150 for the other 8 plants. Looks just the same as my MK5.

Model Number : CF-19ZA001CM
Status : CURRENT
MSRP : $3,829

Description: Windows 7 Professional (with Win 8.1 Pro COA), Intel Core i5‑3610ME 2.7GHz, 10.1" XGA Multi Touch + Digitizer LCD, 500GB Shock‑mounted HDD (7200rpm), 4GB, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Dual Pass (Upper WWAN / Lower Wi‑Fi), TPM 1.2, Toughbook Preferred

I imagine they will be giving the old ones away to the workers?

That would be even better than selling them to the workers.

They have pc's on forklifts???? Shoot, we were lucky to have plastic sheeting for the weather.

We zip tie cardboard on top when it rains.

Work? Job? Oh,no Thank you...... the state boys here have 19's in their cruisers,not sure what model.

Someone has to pay taxes to support the true non working class..

Kerry, You do have a job, just not a conventional one..Every customer becomes your boss.
And that is not easy...

Wasn't worried about the rain then. It was the snow, sleet, and freezing rain, that hurt. Weather on a rivers edge can be brutal at times. Saw some winters that reminded me of my Maine years. But I STILL can't get my head around the concept of pc's on a forklift.............................
