What are rugged, mobile computers?
A rugged (or ruggedized) computer is specifically designed to operate reliably and flawlessly in harsh usage environments and conditions, such as are founds outdoors, in or on vehicles, in factories, warehouses, or service shops. They are designed from inception for the type of rough use typified by these conditions; commercial computers make poor substitutes. They have features like magnesium casings, waterproof keyboards, sunlight-readable displays and shock-mounted disk drives. Vehicle mounted environments (e.g. public safety vehicles or utility trucks) are well suited for rugged computers as the vibration and jolts inherent there would cause failures in commercial portable computers. Rugged computers are available in laptop, tablet pc, handheld, fixed-mount and UMPC form factors.
