Picture This
You're rushing to catch a plane. With your notebook in hand, you accidentally trip. Your notebook hits the floor.....hard. Devoid of several ruggedized features, the prognosis for your notebook could be fatal. What good is it if you make the flight and your meeting, but your primary business tool doesn't?

It's unavoidable. Notebooks bounce around in cars, on trains, in planes, and get knocked when they're being carried.

According to the TBR Damage Survey, the leading causes of notebook damage are drops and spills.¹


Shock-mounted HDDs
All Toughbook hard disk drives are mounted in shock-absorbing polymer compounds insulating the HDD from vibration and shock, while protecting your mission-critical data.
Standard to: All Toughbook PCs



Vibration-resistant LCDs
To prevent costly damage to the LCD display, internal dampeners prevent damage by absorbing shock and sudden impact.
Standard to: Toughbook 19, Toughbook 30, and Toughbook Wireless Display



Flexible Internal Connectors
Should the notebook be dropped or bumped, flexible connectors between the hard disk drive and system board protect against the transfer of shock between these components.
Standard to: All Toughbook PCs
