No. 6: Twinhead Durabook D13RI OnTheGoPC has the Twinhead Durabook D13R1 for a low price of $1,045.00 plus $7 shipping. On a personal note, my first laptop was a twinhead back in 1994 doe $2,400
Powered by a 2GHz Intel Pentium M processor, the Durabook D13RI was the only unit we evaluated that did not contain a dual-core CPU. But it did come with 2 Gbytes of memory, the most the unit will accept. The Durabook's PassMark rating of 185.9 is typical of systems powered by single-core processors. Its battery life of 2 hours 47 minutes was third best of the group but still about two-and-a-half hours less runtime than the Toughbook.
