I am interested in experiences relating to the field use of rugged computers vs. traditional commercial laptops. Are they worth the extra money?

Our field guys use Toughbooks. I doubt that the even more expensive hardened units out there are worth it. the TBs that we have lost were driven over or dropped 100s of feet.
