1. What’s the difference between rugged and semi-rugged computers?
Fully rugged computers need to meet and, if possible, exceed the specifications of MIL-STD- 810F set out by the military. This means all components need additional hardening and protection from extreme temperatures, rapid temperature swings, humidity, vibration and altitude, and be sealed against the possible entry of dust and water and damage from drops or shocks.
Semi-rugged computers make do with some of the above mentioned innovations. (Source: http://gcn.com/Microsites/Rugged-IT/Scaling-Mount-Rugged.aspx)

6. I’m an office-bound entrepreneur running an online business, will a Toughbook suit me?
Toughbooks are designed to suit all types of computer users. Accidents can occur anywhere, and most take place in the home or office environment. Conventional laptops are not built to withstand constant portability and will surely break should it accidently fall to the ground. They are also not built to last and have high component failure rates. It would be a sound investment to purchase a Toughbook. Wouldn’t you feel better knowing that your information will be protected and there will be no need to experience down-time should something unforseen happen?
