If you’re like most people, you probably carry your laptop with you to many different places. Home, work, school, Starbucks — if there’s a place to sit and a place to charge, you’re laptop has a chance of getting pulled out there.
I found out the other day that laptops are not designed for travel. WHAT? Why have a laptop if they aren’t designed for travel? That’s the whole purpose, right? Well, as I chatted with tech support at an unnamed vendor who sold me my 4th laptop in 2 years, I was told that traditional laptops are not made to take with you everywhere, especially on trips. They are more stable internally than desktops, but are really only supposed to be transported on an occasional basis.
Then I was told about rugged laptops and notebooks.
In theory, they are built with the stability to handle travel. And washing. And gunfire.
Okay, not gunfire, but if they can make it through a convoy in the Iraqi desert, they may be able to handle my needs. Here’s hoping. FYI - found a gem of a retailer, Rugged Laptops, who pound for pound sell the same thing that everyone else sells but cheaper. Not sure what the angle is there, but it seems to be working.
Here is a picture that says everything I want to know about rugged laptops — out in a really cool place and still getting internet connectivity, then off to the backyard for a quick spray-down with the hose.

Productivity at its best.
