No guarantees here, but when we needed rugged notebooks at work, we went with Panasonic Toughbooks.

From their literature:

Low Temperature
The Low Temperature test was performed according to MIL-STD-810F, Method 502.4, Procedures I (Storage) and II (Operation). Panasonic set the low operating temperature at -20°F and non-operating temperature at -60°F


You should distinuish between your operating requirement and your storage requirement.

Panasonic have similar approaches to vibration, high temperatures, dust, etc.

We no longer use the product, as we determined that it was more economical to use Thinkpads and replace the odd one that failed. It was one tough notebook, though. Various models, from rugged-looking to fully toughened. All it costs is money.
