Is it possible to either obtain (at reasonable cost) or modify an 
existing laptop to make it virtually shockproof/ destruction proof?  The 
reason I ask is because a relative has small children who keep 
accidentally damaging or destroying their laptop.  The first time there 
was damage, mom was able to actually repair the laptop screen herself 
with a new one and the second time, the damage wasn't so severe that it 
couldn't be repaired under warranty.  However, this time, and being the 
third incident, it is beyond repair and I thought it was about time to 
ask if a more damage proof laptop could be obtained.

Thanks for your help.

Bill
