Pentium 2 Laptop

That's a weird question. It assumes you don't have a P2 laptop and you might be looking for one. :p

There might be a P2 laptop with a 16MB video card since there are lower speed P3 laptops with 16MB video cards. The price difference between those 2 should be minimal, so there's no reason to get a P2 laptop.
 
Yeah I do a lot of traveling with the army and am deployed to the field a lot. I am basically looking for something I can Bungee cord to the desk in the back of my truck and not worry about it while I am off roading, then use it while I'm on shift or in my off time for a few things such as running roms and watching DVD's.
 
There are more modern "toughbook"/rough-style notebooks that are designed to stand up to abuse (meeting mil spec), but they do carry a premium.

Old Panasonic toughbooks from the P4-M generation should work just fine, assumign that you are (hopefully) running it off vehicle power, and not an internal battery.
 
Man you ae planning to be daring. I start sweating when I hit a pothole in my car, even with the laptop in a padded leather case siting on a soft leather seat...........;)
 
You'll want a mid-ranged P3 or better. I refurbish laptops, I get everything from 286's to Core Duo's, and I can't think of a single P2 era laptop that had 16 MB, the norm was about 4 MB in those days. And if you want to watch DVD's, a P3 600 is about the minimum on a laptop that can playback a DVD without being choppy.

As someone mentioned the old Panasonic Toughbooks, those are about as rugged as it gets. I have worked on some ex-Army laptops, and they were designed for that kind of torture. That's the route I'd go.
