The sand everywhere bit worries me, I would take a look at a ruggedized laptop.
Somehow I doubt the ability of most modern laptop internals to deal well with fine grain particulates . So make sure there is a warranty on whatever you end up getting (most credit cards have a year warranty for all purchases, but it's a good thing to check).
