What makes a Rugged Laptop:
Most rugged laptops are made with a magnesium housing - 20 times stronger than ABS plastic and rated to take a drop from 3ft. while some can handle a drop from 5ft. All major components are shock mounted like the Hard Disc Drive, LCD, Motherboard, RAM and other critical parts within the laptop. USB, RS232, VGA, FireWire, Power and other ports are all protected behind doors or tight fitting rubber gaskets - allowing these ports to withstand the harsh elements. LCDs range from small to large at 15.4". Sunlight Readable LCDs are the most popular feature to have while using your machine in the outdoors. While commercial plastic laptop screens would need to be shaded, adding a Sunlight Readable LCD allows for the sun to be directly on the LCD while still being able to view everything.

What to do with a Rugged Laptop:
Rugged laptops or rugged notebooks, also referred to as mobile computers, are used in a variety of settings such as mounted in vehicles, carried by our armed forces, executives on the go and almost all individuals that work in a rough and tough environments. The Rugged laptop is most importantly there to withstand the rigors of everyday use no matter the situation - rain, sand, vibration, shock, drop, high to low temperatures and high altitudes to the lowest. There are many applications for a rugged mobile computer. Rugged notebooks are made durable to withstand the punishment that go along with the daily use of these machines.

Who uses a Rugged Notebook:
If you work in the field or if you drive a vehicle, on and off the construction site, in and out of war zones or you just don't think plastic is strong enough for your lifestyle. A magnesium housed rugged notebook will take the beatings you give it or the accidental drops and the vibrations from the road. Service men and women and individuals working in the field know what it's like to use a commercial plastic laptop outdoors. You can't see the screen, your battery runs for a couple hours and if you drop it - you're done for. A rugged notebook will fix all those problems with Sunlight Readable LCDs, 3ft. drop resistant to MIL-STD 810F certification and your battery last upwards of 12-15 hours on select ruggedized laptops. Whether you work in the dirt or work in the cleanest environments a rugged notebook would be perfect.



In the Spotlight: Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 - Fully Rugged Notebook

The Panasonic ToughBook CF-30 comes with many innovative additions, wireless applications and rugged features.
The fully ruggedized Toughbook CF-30 features a 13.3" XGA anti-glare and anti-reflective coating screen rated at 500 NIT (candles per square meter, a measure of brightness) version and a 1000 NIT touchscreen version, both sporting a 1.66GHz L7500 Low Voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB RAM, and 80GB HDD.

With an ultra strong magnesium alloy case, the MIL-STD 810F certified Panasonic Toughbook CF30 is vibration, drop and shock resistant and sports a 32 mm thick, foam-packed HDD casing, to withstand drops from a height of 3 feet. The novel thing is that the solid metal handle incorporated into the chassis makes it nearly impossible to drop this machine, but accidents do happen. The optional 1,000 NIT touchscreen, readable under direct sunlight, is an option particularly meant for the law enforcement officials, armed forces, first responders, field service techs and other industry workers who have to work outside with a rugged notebook. With the 1,000 NIT bright touchscreen, you can easily use custom touchscreen enabled applications in vehicle-mounted environments or when walking around. The CF30's extremely durable battery lasts up to 6-8 hours.

The sealed keyboard and ports and shock mounted screen and HDD add the essential ruggedness. The special HDD-heater allows the Panasonic Toughbook CF30 to function under extreme conditions up to -20°C. The anti-sun-reflective silver painting and the internal thermal pipe system prevents heat absorption while in hot outdoor conditions. This rugged notebook is fully sealed using O-Ring gaskets on the doors and ports to ensures dust, moisture and water resistance at the IP54 (ingress protection) level. All these features make it ready for hard conditions including indoors, outdoors, snow, rain, dust, etc.

The fully rugged CF30 comes with integrated wireless options like WLAN, WWAN, GPS and Bluetooth. You can configure the WWAN as either UMTS/HSPDA from Cingular Wireless or EV-DO to work with the Sprint or Verizon network.

The Intel Centrino architecture with WLAN standard permits high flexibility and ensures optimal reception with 2 integrated WLAN-antennas located at the top of the display unit. The ‘hot swapping' multimedia pocket, gives you the flexibility to swap between several optical drives and even a secondary battery.
