I HAVE AN iPAD Why a Toughbook?

"I have an iPad now so why would I need a 7 pound Toughbook?" "My iPhone or my Android is all I need why a Toughbook?" "I have a cute Kindle, why would I get a Black Hawk 6lb,8oz CF-19 Laptop?" Some say Laptops are OLD SCHOOL, but are they? Now think about this, take a nice vacation to Borneo with your iPad. You can't use it in the rain, even though it rains 90% daily. Even the humidity creeps in and your screen fogs. Make sure your fingers are real clean, any dirt or mud will ruin your touch screen. Bring back back up batteries...."wait you cannot get back up batteries". Make sure you can see the mountains in 3D, oh wait, these things don't do GPS and Google earth in 3D, DAM how tall is that mountain we need to climb? "Lets burn a movie and give it to the local people for their memories.....DAM cannot do that either." What you are left with is a ballerina, what you need is a Special Force in a Green Beret environment. Get a Toughbook, yes your gadgets are cute in airports terminals but they suck where 80% of the earth is covered by ocean, jungle and desert. Be Prepared for the next 12 years.

RUGGED vs. Basic Laptops and iPads Tablets

1. Magnesium Casings. Magnesium is 10-20 times tougher than ABS plastic. This tougher casing provides significant protection against accidental drops.

2. Shock-Mounted Hard Disk Drives. The disk drive in a ruggedized computer is mounted on springs, on rubber or on a gel-like substance. This allows the disk to float so-to-speak.

3. Additional Cushioning and Padding. There are additional steps taken inside the computer to protect the vital components from drops and vibration. There may be foam rubber, Styrofoam or other cushioning materials.

4. Hardened Glass. Many ruggedized computers use hardened glass for the display screen. It is not unbreakable, but is much harder to shatter and scratch than the regular glass in a commercial computer.

5. Sealed Against the Elements. Most semi-rugged computers offer sealed keyboards and display screens. This provides protection against liquid spills. The fully-rugged computers take this a step further and seal the entire computer.

6. Outdoor-Viewable Display Screens. The displays in commercial, plastic computers are designed for indoor use and are not bright enough to be seen outdoors. All fully-rugged computers offer the option of anti-glare sunlight readable display screens.

7. Intrinsically-Safe. Some rugged computers are designated "Intrinsically-Safe". This means that they are guaranteed not to emit a spark and thus can be safely used around hazardous materials or flammable gases.

8. Warranty. Most ruggedized computers are easier to offer warranties because the failure rates are VERY LOW, 2% vs. 24% of a conventional laptop .Also it's simple and easy to repair your own Rugged Toughbook....because that feature was built into them. This is why you will not see your HP tablet anywhere near a battlefield.
