Durabook Laptop Marketing Claims 'Destroyed'

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hard-knocks dept.

jkwdoc writes "The crew at [H] Consumer got a hold of a Durabook sample from Twinhead and got the green light to hold Twinhead to their word about what kind of abuse the unit can withstand. Twinhead originally claimed that their unit could survive 26 drops from 29 inches. A cracked LCD and busted hard drive later, they changed their tune. Complete with video!"

    Not over and over indefinitely though. They claim the lie will work 26 times, but our testing has shown it is infact significantly less than that.
