What degree of "durable" do you need?
If it's "the owner will be dropping it off a table onto a quarry
tile floor on a daily basis", then I'd suggest that the budget isn't
quite up to it, and you need something like the Toughbook.
If it's "the build quality is pretty good, and it'll survive being
stuffed into a bag with light padding, hoofed around all over the
place, and fumbled occasionally", then in the past I've been happy
with a Dell Latitude. Dell also occasionally sell machines with Linux
on.
