If you are looking for a piece of technology that will stay abreast of an adventurous or capricious life, you might be considering a rugged laptop. During my expedition across North America, I encountered several fellow adventurers who relied on rugged laptops, promoted as machines designed to accompany explorers or that accident-prone dunce who spills their winter drink onto their keyboard with predictable regularity. Here is a rundown on all you need to know about the best rugged laptops in the market today.
Surely the laptops that carry the badge ‘rugged’ would be able to withstand the severest environments? Temperature extremity tests demand that they be impervious to exhaustive and unfavourable extremes, on both ends: desert heat, arctic cold, and every viable compromised clime in between. Is this the best aspect of these laptops’ elemental customer appeal?
The Dell Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme is about as rugged a laptop as they come. But it’s not just about looks – inside lies a beast of a machine. Here’s what makes this laptop so durable – and powerful.
Featuring a chassis that our engineers have pushed to the limits of resistance, the Dell Latitude 7330 laughs in the face of wind, dust and shocks. Its glove-responsive touchscreen with swappable batteries helps you cope with the most extreme weather conditions and avoids any interruptions in your work.
Not by far. If you’re a creative, go returning to the fetal position and never leave because the Panasonic Toughbook 55 Mk2 makes no apologies for its extremes. Here’s why this über-customisable, military-grade laptop is worth your trust.
Befitting its ethereal 14-inch glowscreen, its brimmed by nature-defying bezel, and, because it’s versatile, it fits any job you have.
It isn’t only about enduring the elements: it is also about being willing to fit itself to the user The CF-33 is the latest iteration of Panasonic’s 2-in-1 Toughbook, a versatile computer that swings around to face the user in laptop or tablet mode.
Fold it, dock it, split it – the CF-33 handles boom and bust lifestyles with far more versatility, but the same focus on water, dust and shock resistance.
Sway to one side and things get tough and thrillingly durable; to the other and you have devices primed for all-day, every day use. Where this balance lies is where the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon builds on the general-purpose nature of rugged laptops.
With its combination of aluminum and carbon-fibre, this laptop doesn’t just survive – it glides across strident work spaces and leisurely environments.
Dell Latitude 7230 rugged tablet – It may look like any old laptop with a detachable keyboard, but that misrepresents its purpose. This is a slab of power and durability fashioned to fit into field gear in the worst weather.
The Acer Enduro T1 shows that everything comes in small, ruggedised packages and is budget-friendly too. This little tablet proves you don’t have to be big to be made tough.
But just as you can’t take any rugged laptop with you to Antarctica, every other laptop on the shelves of your local computer shop is not simply the same basic device as a rugged one, only the casing is wrapped in bubble wrap. Rather, they are built from the ground up differently, from the choice of material to the design philosophy, to ensure longer life and reliability, perhaps even through adversity.
It’s not that a rugged laptop choose you – it’s more that you choose a companion that is as unforgiving and as unstoppable as you are. From the boardroom to the mountain top, your technology should be working as hard as you do.
