3 Rugged Notebooks Take a Beating

Posted by timothy on from the catharsis-defined dept.

bsk_cw writes "Brian Nadel got a chance to try to destroy three 'fully rugged' notebooks and get paid for it — Computerworld had him drop, spray, drown, bake, shake, and freeze notebooks from General Dynamics Itronix, Getac, and Panasonic. All three suffered some damage, but only the Getac M230 actually died as a result. Brian made videos of the tests (which were apparently done in his home, including his kitchen)."

    Well, obviously, you have to give up some form of frivolous pastime in order to show solidarity with them.

    Why, I'm not even American?
    Maybe it'd be okay if they were not as fat and focussed on coming back alive instead of butt-fucking their (political) prisoners.
    You people annoy me: how is it that you accept that situation to the point that you even see possible that McCain or Hillary Schmuckton could become your next president?
