My cats only had $43 saved up in their Christmas present money fund so I got them a CF-27 Mk. 4 (cf-27lbaghem) for $18.99 (plus shipping) from fleabay. It arrived today (a week late for Christmas I know) and now I just have to set it all up for them.
I was going to give them the Apple iBook that I also just got but it doesn't play AVIs (or even FLVs) and they do love their movies so I've upgraded them from their Mk. 2.
It's the first Mk. 4 that I've encountered so I'm having lots of fun going back through all the old threads on here looking for the right touchscreen drivers and, yes, the sound on this one appears to be dead too.
I'll post some pictures later of my youngest cat interacting with a Toughbook and expressing absolute disgust with the iBook. People may think I'm a bit mad to let my cats play unsupervised on laptops while I'm at work but they love them.
I'm not sure whether or not to replace the rubber keyboard with a plastic one since, although the cats don't actually do any typing (as far as I know), I think the potential for destruction of the rubber keyboard is quite high on their agendas. If it survived a bunch of cops using it for years and years then it will probably survive a 7lb cat's attack but I'll let you know.
Happy New Year, everybody!
