 Revolutionary Ability to Withstand
Impacts
Picture This
You're rushing to catch a plane. With your notebook in hand, you
accidentally trip. Your notebook hits the floor.....hard. Devoid of
several ruggedized features, the prognosis for your notebook could be
fatal. What good is it if you make the flight and your meeting, but
your primary business tool doesn't?
It's unavoidable. Notebooks bounce around in cars, on trains, in
planes, and get knocked when they're being carried.
According to the TBR Damage Survey, the leading causes of notebook
damage are drops and spills.
Shock-mounted HDDs
All Toughbook hard disk drives are mounted in shock-absorbing polymer
compounds insulating the HDD from vibration and shock, while
protecting your mission-critical data.
Standard to: All Toughbooks.
Vibration-resistant LCDs
To prevent costly damage to the LCD display, internal dampeners
prevent damage by absorbing shock and sudden impact.
Standard to: Toughbook 01, Toughbook 18, Toughbook 29, and Toughbook
34.
Flexible Internal Connectors
Should the notebook be dropped or bumped, flexible connectors between
the hard disk drive and system board protect against the transfer of
shock between these components.
Standard to: All Toughbooks.
