Take a look at these figures
According to research done by International Data Corporation (IDC), 64% of notebook damage is caused by drops, 38% by spills, and 28% by crushing while LCDs and HDDs are reported to be the two components most often cited as suffering damage.
Also according to IDC, the average cost of repairing or replacing a notebook is $1,200. U.S. corporations spent a total of $700 million in 1998 to repair and replace damaged notebooks. That figure is expected to go up to $1 billion by next year. Don't be surprised to learn that medium and large companies alike have an average of 1,500 notebooks in service across all departments including field service workers.
As you may know, damaged notebooks result in several intangible losses to corporations. These include missed deadlines, lost data, employee frustration and a subsequent drop in productivity.
Reliability Is Priority #1
When it comes to ruggedized notebooks reliability takes center stage. Can the system withstand harsh environments and conditions, shock and vibration? Functionality is next on the list; can the system support GPS and other on-the-field data acquisition and analysis functions? Performance in terms of microprocessor speed, RAM and HDD capacity as well as expandability options is also an important buying criterion.
The Ruff PC Advantage
Experience, Variety, Savings, Customization. Currently, we provide a full range of robust portables that runs the gamut from entry-level offerings for industrial floors to highly resistant top performers that can withstand the harshest environmental conditions such as -20°C and 55°C temperatures, as well as shock, vibration, humidity, drop, grease, water and fire.
Each of these notebooks gives you a choice of ruggedized features magnesium alloy housing that's 20+ times stronger than plastic. Their shock-mounted hard drives and keyboards offer resistance to hazards ranging from dirt, dust, spills, knocks, to shocks.
National Acclaim

These customers include enterprises such as Boeing, SCE, NASA, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Geological Survey, Mississippi University, Rutgers University, J.L. French, Rocky Flat, Stealth Engineering, GEO Systems U.K., RACAL Defense Electronics, Lynch and Sons, Herzog Electric, U.S.R.D., and Kansas Department of Health & Environment, just to name a few.
Tough Performance
Like their counterparts in the commercial notebook field, these brawny machines are built to support high performance features that make complex and collaborative computing a breather for you. These high-end features include IntelŪ microprocessors that rocket at speeds exceeding 2Ghz. They also include up to 4GB of RAM and high-capacity hard disk and CD-ROM/DVD drives.
Tough Multimedia
Toughness and hand work doesn't mean that we take away your right to enjoy. That's why we've built audio capabilities on the system to give use the ultimate multimedia experience anywhere you may be. Now you can enjoy all those DVDs and VCDs even while performing tasking mission-critical assignments thanks to the CD-ROM/DVD drive and the PCI 3D audio and built-in stereo speakers.
You Need One Today
If you are a civil engineer, or if you happen to work in any harsh environment relating to heat, humidity, altitude, depth, or if you happen to be a police officer on the beat or a soldier and you need a computer that would not let you down even if you drop it from a high altitude or accidentally drop it in water, oil or even into a fire, then what you need is a ruggedized notebook.
