This goes to show that choosing a gadget takes more than just style or form factor like what Caesar Solidus
got for us, and here it is!

Mobile users require a computer of some sort. This could range from a laptop to even a PDA. For this article's purpose, we will cover laptop computers as laptops are the preferred form of mobile computers in terms of versatility and power.

While most mobile users will purchase a laptop for their everyday needs, the laptop purchase is typically based on form factor and power. These two factors are very important to the purchase of a laptop for the pure reason of computer mobility and usability of software. As important as these are, one factor that is often overlooked by mobile users is durability, and durability requires a rugged laptop PC.

It's understandable as to why durability is not a main concern for mobile users. Most will convince themselves that they will be extra careful or place their laptop in a padded case when they carry their laptop with them. Some will even go as far as purchasing an extended warranty. While being extra careful and using a padded case are a definite must, it is not an effective means to protect the investment. Let's not forget that extended warranties are just that: they extend the warranties in time length that the laptop is covered. Extended warranties typically do not cover negligence such as drops or water damage.

Mobile users looking for computer mobility should strongly consider a rugged laptop PC. Today's rugged laptop PC is designed with not just durability now, but also form factor and power. In the past, these tough computers were designed to simply have basic computer functionality in harsh environments such as military and construction. However, mobile users are now finding the benefits of computer mobility in a rugged laptop PC package.

With a rugged laptop PC, mobile users will find that these laptops can prevent damages from drops and water damage. These benefits are of high importance since the mobile user will undoubtedly run into these accidents. No matter how careful a person is there will likely be a drop, bump, or spill. Even with a padded case, a laptop does not stay in the case while in use. The moment it is out of the padded case it is open to damage. As previously mentioned, rugged laptop PC addresses these issues.

While the main concerns of computer mobility have been about how slim a laptop can be and the speed of the CPU, durability should also be a factor. No matter how careful a person is or how strong a carry case is, accidents can and will happen. Mobile users should do themselves a favor and avoid the hassles of a standard laptop and go for a rugged laptop PC.
