Five Reasons Why Rugged PCs Are Better than 'Wimpy' Ones
As president of Rugged Notebooks, people ask me all the time why they should purchase one of our ruggedized notebooks rather than a standard, ‘wimpy’ notebook. I give them five simple reasons:
- Sunlight-readable – Our notebooks feature "transflective" LCD screens that allow you to view your screen whether on top of a mountain, at your kid’s baseball game, or just sitting outside for lunch. Rugged Notebooks was also the pioneer in offering outdoor displays on semi-rugged notebook PCs.
- Dual-touch – With some computer applications, sometimes the best way to operate them is through touch screen, not a keyboard. Our notebooks go one better with “dual touch” that enables you to use a stylus or your finger to move icons and data around quickly and easily.
- Water resistance – It seems like everyone at some time or another has had some liquid spilled on their laptop. Rather than worrying whether your notebook will still be functioning once it dries, wouldn’t it be nice to have the peace of the mind knowing there is a water-resistant seal protecting your data as well as expensive internal components such as your motherboard.
- Magnesium alloy case – Compared to standard laptops, the casing around Rugged Notebook laptops are made of sturdy magnesium alloy, not plastic, making it 10-50 times stronger in withstanding the hard bumps and drops of everyday life, whether at work, home or leisure.
- Built-in fingerprint scanner – Add an extra measure of security with our built-in biometric fingerprint scanners. It also helps to meet FBI user-authentication guidelines for computers accessing National Crime Information Center (NCIC), a must-have in law enforcement.
An extra-added bonus reason is price. Rugged Notebooks offers MORE features for LESS money than the competition like Toughbook. Just take a look at our Eagle brand semi-rugged notebook and try to find a ruggedized laptop with comparable features starting at $1,595.
So I hope I’ve helped convince you that rugged, especially from Rugged Notebooks, is the way to go.
