Think you’re tough? Maybe so, but check back with us after being sprayed with water, smothered in dust, dropped 3 feet onto plywood over concrete 26 times, and asked to work at 140 and -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Now ask your laptop PC to do the same -- or just ask HP to sell you one of its first rugged portable computers, built to combine wireless connectivity with military specifications for durability.
Starting at $4,099, the HP Rugged Notebook nr3600 is a 7.9-pound Windows XP Professional portable with up to 1.7GHz Pentium 4 processor, ATI Mobility Radeon graphics, a 40GB or 80GB removable hard disk and swappable media bay, and a choice of wireless connectivity options.
