Good overview! I just got a Mk5 CF-31 and I love it! I will be using it as my main PC. I use and carry vintage laptops all the time, so the bulkiness isn't an issue for me, I actually really like it. I also really love having a built-in serial port and PCMCIA slot. With the serial I can plug my Palm PDA cradles straight into the machine with no adapters. And I use a PCMCIA to CF adapter to transfer files to vintage laptops, which will slot directly into this laptop.

Excellent review. Just to mention that upgrading from an HDD to an SSD will not only help with performance but also with battery lifespan/uptime because the lack of an electric motor that is always spinning, and also avoiding possible mechanical failure/data loss, as the HDD will eventually break. I have purchased a second hand MK5 unit with 16GB of RAM, SSD, built in GPS and 4G/LTE modem. It shows ~3000 hours operation in BIOS. It comes with a LIND car charger (made in USA). I love it and now I can take my old Toyota 4x4 from 1986 and go trough hell if needed 🤘 Ah, this configuration whas originally sold for 5960$ 😅

Terrific review. Best one I have seen. Just purchased one to replace my 12 year old toshiba, that I have been slowly coaxing along for far too many years. I have plenty of desktops in my office and home. I just needed something tough, that would work as a pass through for watching movies from one of my externals, and using for all of my diagnostic software for my cars and motorcycles. Dont really care about the weight, though, might look into the second battery, for when I am traveling. Dont really need an optical drive, since I havent used the one on my toshiba in at least 7 or 8 years. Hardly even use them on the home and office computers.

Man, I remember these laptops. We had a fleet of about 600 or so. Yes, they are heavy but they have had a lot of mileage during my time with them and they went all over the world and then some....

Wish the cf31 and cf19 screen could be upgraded to an ips display or even a 1080p screen (or whatever HD would be in that aspect ratio) I know it doesn't make much sense for a rugged machine like this, but still. The Panasonic cf40 does have a 1080p screen and is fully rugged but they're way too expensive still, being released not too long ago.

I went with the sell 5414 over this. I don't think the water rating is as good as the cf31 or the Dell 74xx series but for $500 it's practically brand new, 3 battery's (one hot swap) 4g lte, 1tb ssd, I'm not upset

The CF-19 is a smaller, more portable laptop, however it's keyboard is a bit more difficult to use. The CF-31 is the largest and most rugged model, but it weighs over 10lbs and is very bulky to carry around. If you are doing field work and potability is a priority, I would probably choose the cf-19. I would suggest a mk5 or higher for modern operating system support.
