The Toughbook is built to withstand a drop test of 76cm, the typical height of a desk or table, features a spill resistant keyboard, and has also undergone a pressurised vibration test of up to 100 kilograms of force (kgf), so it can easily handle everyday knocks and bumps that can occur in the hectic on-the-road business environment.
