most durable notebook for business travel??

[sna]

I need some new notebook the 533 bus one with pci express VGA card and ddr2.

one of these notebooks I can thorw in my brief case and dont worry about it.

I dont want it to be desktop replacement, and not a home PC , I want a slim , durable, shock/drop resistant notebook, while mostadvanced and powerfull CPU at the same time.

I tried the Dell latitude b4 and I DONT LIKE IT AT ALL. it does not have style nor good design. and few options too.

I am looking at TOSHIBA,IBM,SONY.

I need the new 2.1G 533 sonoma , 1G ddr2 ram, x600 or x700 mobile (or nvidea equivalant, DVD writer, 7200 or 5400 HD , and at least 4 HRS battery life. wide screen 15.4 or 14.2 is a bounus but not important. also I ve seen these new bright screen technology and I need your advice about them are they good ? also, the only thing I loved about DELL was their high resolution screen upgrade option, but all what i find at IBM,TOSHIBA,SONY are not customizable...

anyway plese give me some recommendations. I think the Toshiba TECRA is good (but low on specs , they use 6200te nvidia)...

the most important thing is it to be slim, fast, and durable with every needed option (with modular DVD writer/second battery swap) (I dont wantto carry around external devices or docking stations...
