An armoured laptop. Y'know, for when you need to check spreadsheets while parachuting into enemy territory.
Dell’s Rugged Extreme laptop is black all over, with a white backlight behind the keyboard and a thick bezel around the screen. The overall aesthetic is chunky, with rubber armour on the corners and a catch to keep the screen closed. The hinge is stiffer than many other laptops – there's no chance of flipping this open while holding it in one hand – and all the ports are covered with rubber doors, each with a catch so they can be clicked shut and prevented from opening.
The touchscreen can be used while wearing gloves, and there's a stylus secreted in a nook on the side of the chassis too. The stiff hinge makes it easier to use the touchscreen, as it’s less likely to fold over when you press on it. The keyboard, by contrast, is quite nice, with the keys well separated and with enough travel and resistance for a good typing feel. When using the laptop on your lap the handle protrudes toward you and can get in the way, especially if you’re using the machine in close quarters, such as the seat of a car.
