Reviews describe it as "Nearly invincible and invulnerable", but did they toddler test it?

What is it

[angrycommiekender@lemmy.world]

Standard law enforcement laptop in the US, also used in the military sometimes, because it's all but indestructible. Generally they are a few years behind on internal components.

I was a tech reviewer back then and I remember them doing a demo at a show with a Humvee driving over it. Not even a banged up screen in the demonstration. Truly impressive. Gel "envelope" around the HDD, gaskets throughout for water protection, metal alloy body (back when everyone else was still using plastic).

Couple of years later and I got a smaller, slightly less ruggedized version to test as well and turned my 2 1/2 yr old loose on it and absolutely no issues. So toddler tested almost two decades ago!

WHAT YEAR IS IT?

I would wager that getting a toughbook would be a little overkill. I remember one of my friends in primary school, who was on a step ladder taking posters off the classroom wall, dropped his fully open ThinkPad 11e on the ground, not even a scratch.

My brother had one in 2003 that I accidentally broke. Apparently I still feel bad about it. Not sure why.
