 Advertising agency stuff, with no accounting for reality?

>Laptops would not last very long...

 I'd suspect the relevant space agency would provide a list of
pre-tested/approved laptops that don't out-gas, emit spurious RF, and have
hardened processors and memories.

 They'd likely cost a small fortune, and have processors over a decade
out-of-date for commercial gear. (The Boeing 737 series have flight
management computers running Motorola 68040 chips... TODAY)

 Suddenly I'm seeing Jubal Harshaw commenting on the taste of Valentine
