Semi and Fully Rugged Notebooks

When it comes to portable devices, accidental damage is the #1 cause for product failure. According to an independent study, 18% of notebook computers are physically damaged and returned for repair in the first year of ownership. Of these damaged notebook computers, over 60% are damaged from accidental drops and over 30% are damaged from liquid spills. These Ruggedized Notebooks feature a rugged design that provides added protection to the vital components - hard disk drive, LCD display, motherboard, optical drive, and battery - of your notebook computer from normal everyday mishaps.
