eBuddy Semi-rugged Wireless Laptops
EarthWalk developed the semi-rugged eBuddy laptop series specifically for the education community.
These laptops are built to withstand the rigors of everyday school use and accidental mishaps by incorporating industrial rugged features including a Magnesium Case and Chassis, Shock Resistant Hard Drive and LCD displays, and a Water Resistant Keyboard. These features protect the vital components of the laptop such as the motherboard, LCD Screen, hard drive and memory module and yet the laptop retains a slim and lightweight design allowing for ultimate portability. The semi-rugged eBuddy minimizes the potential for downtime due to accidental damage and therefore maximizes the operational time of one’s investment. In addition to its rugged features, the semi-rugged eBuddy is a high performance and user-friendly laptop computer providing true mobility and functionality.
All eBuddy semi-rugged systems feature standards to ensure durable qualities.
These standard test measurements include:
DROP TEST - MIL STD 810F, Method 516.4, Procedure IV, 26 drops of 36 inches (29 inches for all 14" semi-rugged eBuddy systems) onto plywood over concrete with unit off and display closed
