Getac 9213 “Business Rugged” notebook

It’s not often you can find a ‘rugged’ computer that doesn’t look like it could survive the bumper car ride at the local fair if it only had wheels.

The Getac 9213 is making a bid to look like a notebook yet still the wear the label shock-resistant. The Getac 9213 is actually labeled “business rugged”, which means it can take a few bumps and a drop now and then because of its full magnesium allow chassis and case, a shock-mounted HDD and its 13.3-inch WXGA display, but it’s still not in the league of the Panasonic Toughbook. And we wonder how it would do underwater, aka Lenovo.

The Getac 9213 has a spill-resistant keyboard and touchpad. It can brag about its other hardware specs as well:

• A 45nm Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn-class ULV processor
• 3GB of RAM
• 160GB HDD (250GB optional)
• a battery life of up to 8hrs
• Remove the optical drive, install a second battery and you can go half a day – 12hrs
• WiFi a/g/n, Bluetooth
• 1.3-megapixel webcam
• digital microphone array
• fingerprint scanner
• integrated TPM security module

The Getac 9213 is available now. All you need is $1,799.
