PC Tech laptop?

What laptop would you recommend for a PC technician? Preferably something portable.

If it's likely to be always on the move, frequently carried around from place to place and therefore needs to be sturdy and dependable, I would use what most of the industry uses for their engineers and site technicians - a Panasonic Toughbook.

Nothing else competes with it for being tough as the name implies. All it's ports have rubber covers to keep out dust & moisture when not in use. They even have a strong carry handle on the front edge:

Not cheap, but you would need to replace a consumer laptop several times over a given period if used under the same conditions and in the same environments.

A laptop with matte finish screen to prevent sun glare, with an ssd drive, a dedicated graphics chip "switchable" if possible and finally an array of ports.
I personally use my msi gx60.
