Why Ruggedized Notebooks? - because drops and Spills are the leading causes of notebook damage.
No matter how much you try to avoid it notebooks bounce around in cars, on trains, in planes, and basically take a beating where ever you go.
Rugged laptops & Semi Rugged laptops allow you the peace of mind to work where you want to and have up to 4 times the working life of a standard laptop in harsh conditions.
But it’s not just the guy out in the fields or even the office road warrior at risk. Even the so called "safety of the office" is a minefield for the unprotected laptop.
Have you ever carried your notebook to a meeting outside of its bag? Perhaps had a drink while working? Laptops get caught in the rain and accidentally dowsed with coffee just like you do.
It’s amazing how invasive dust can be on electronic equipment, if you take your notebook with you even occasionally to outdoor areas you would already have a considerable build up.
So why would you risk your data like this when there is a solution?
Rugged Laptops are manufactured with features that help them survive a rough life:
- Shock Resistance - by having shock-mounted hard drives, vibration resistant LCD’s & flexible internal connecters they can withstand the rigors of bouncing when dropped & being knocked when carried.
- Spill Resistance – LCD panels are protected with overlay panels & sealed around the edges to provide protection against the spills and splashes that are common to mobile computing environments.
- Dust Resistance – Sealed keypads & hinged aluminum covers over all exposed ports & connection terminals protect against the invading dust in harsh fields conditions.
