Do a rugged laptop review and teardown it would be super interesting

[@MortisObscura]

I rebuild them for a living... Yeah no... Linus should never try this. Its a very tricky process that requires specialized tools and a lot of patience. Also on older ones like the CF-27 and CF-28, if you place your hand in the wrong place you can easily slice off a finger. It can take up to 3 hours to completely tear one down, normally around an hour if you're being careful. Putting one back together is even worse sometimes.

[@sparkplug1018]

Curious what in the CF-27 and 28 is that sharp? Not doubting you, genuinely curious.

[@MortisObscura]

They very thin sheets of metal in them that are razor sharp. Its probably an over exaggeration to say cut off a finger but I have had to get a finger stitched up before because the cut was fairly deep. But knowing linus, he's probably figure out a way to cut off a foot by dropping it.

A while back Panasonic had a destroyed Toughbook on display in the lobby of their US headquarters. A police officer had it in his cruiser and some lowlife shot at him, fortunately the bullet hit the lid of the Toughbook, stopping it from hitting the officer. The Toughbook was destroyed but it likely saved the officers life. THAT'S a tough notebook!

When I was working at Dell's custom server rack solution center, we built multiple server systems for the military in these awesome special server racks. They were like 10U racks, mounted on rubber bumpers on each side which acted like shock absorbers during transport, which were then connected to the rugged plastic exterior case. Both front and back doors had hermetic seals on them to make them waterproof during transport/storage.

[@ratchet1freak]

They are also nice for contractors taking their work to the jobsite...

[@ChuckyD444]

I've been working with the Getac Tablets in the USAF. A lot of the design behind it is pretty brilliant like having two removable batteries inside so they can be swapped individually without shutting down. The covers also have 2 locking mechanism on them so they do not fall off accidentally if dropped. the i/o ports also have little plastic doors with rubber seals and locks on them. The only thing I do not like is how they are trying to replace everything we do with these tablets and synchronising all of the software together. Keeping everything up to date is a real hassle and if one part goes the whole thing often goes to shit and we just revert back to the old way.

[@genericyoutubename-nx5xp]

I use ruggedized laptops for my work in the Air Force. The ones we use are called Technical Orders, or T.O.s for short. The ones i use are for maintaining aircraft. Think of it as a manual with hundreds of manuals inside. They're old so they're slow af but yeah they're pretty strong. We had a Little Giant latter fall on one and put a hole in the back of the screen and it still works, we just put speed tape on it (aluminum tape) and it was good as new

[@genericyoutubename-nx5xp]

Also ours are around $40,000 because they're encrypted

[@Crazytomm]

You can encrypte a hard drive basically for free. Getac B300\F110 and Panasonic cf31 are probably around 3k each. I'm not sure about the tablets.

[@evilbred974]

Not proper level 1 encryption you can't. That said, $40,000 is ridiculously overpriced. There's companies that offer military encryption capable harddrives for probably closer to $2-3k

[@Crazytomm]

Evil bred I'm unfamiliar with encryption. I just know for these tech data he uses. They are all unclassified. With the green standard strip across the top of screen. Unless your working on the air Force 1. Most computers you load standard SDC off a external drive and it basically setups windows 10 for. Im going to look into it but I never thought it was "encrypted".

[@genericyoutubename-nx5xp]

Tommy Maroney well technically some of the stuff is unclassified and yes the green strip on the top is typical. The encryption is for the e-tools application. Any T.O. you work with no matter the aircraft will have the green strip at the top. It's because it's a government computer and you can still access sites like the AF Portal and outlook

To anyone thats curious, the US Army has loads of those Panasonic Toughbooks and they see virtually no use. 99% of them are ancient and worn but they also feature some lackluster hardware.

I work on F18's for the US Navy, all of our publications are on Panasonic Toughbooks. They have gotten a lot better in the last few years. Processors are much faster now, but mainly, they now have SSD's which not only are nearly immune to shock, but they are immensely faster. We did manage to break one the day after we got it. One of my guys left it sitting on top of the ejection seat and closed the canopy putting a hole in the top cover. We just tore it apart and swapped it with one from an older dead toughbook.

It’s bulky as a laptop but actually much more convenient to carry than other laptops since you don’t even need a padded case. Just attach a strap and toss it over your shoulder.

Watched this from my new-to-me Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 Mk. 3. Its heavy (over 8lbs), bulky, has a whopping 2 USB ports, an i5 processor, and cost $900. But so worth it (for me). I've dropped it out of a truck onto concrete, used it in rain, and its been through some of the worst dust storms I've personally been in myself in Arizona. I wouldn't mind a few more USB ports, and if it was a bit faster... But considering all my electronics tend to have a precarious future in my care, I have to say this is the best laptop choice I could have made. Just to add a couple more things in the off chance anyone wants to know... It has a 300gb intel SSD in lieu of a traditional hard drive, nearly all components are user replaceable (including but not limited to memory, storage, screen, keyboard, integrated GPS, integrated bluetooth/aircard(verizon LTE), touchpad, port covers and screen),and has a usable touchscreen (resisitive, so gloves and objects (stylus) can be used with it). The daytime view-able screen is badass, and it can sit in full view of the sun inside a closed car when its 120F outside and not break a sweat (if only I could say the same about me).

That penguin comment after hearing of Grape-kun's passing... Did not expect to cry on this video ;A;

[@YR7A]

solution to basically everything: -potting -make sure it's rugged (think magnesium frame like almost all thinkpads have.) -waterproof (plays into potting) -tough screen -good screen -touchscreen (maybe, if you need it, most don't have it) that's basically it.

[@jacktastic715]

0:46 when he thinks you're not using one to watch his videos but you really are... LOL I want a channel all about my laptop!

[@EVRLYNMedia]

I thought the intro was gone, BUT IT CAME BACK

[@tamasvarga4867]

The military needs rugged laptops so they can watch Linus anywhere.

[@JYoutubes10]

Great video as always, but 1080p? :0

[@danielsjohnson]

0:35 the cheap solution is to buy a keyboard cover. Every once in a while I'll take it off, shake out the crumbs into a trash can, then get back to what I was doing. It saved my laptop from liquid once.

[@ShaunakDe]

We do geo-thermal measurements in our research group and a Panasonic Toughbook is pretty much standard equipment. I can personally attest to its ability to survive being dropped in the mud (and continue processing GPS data)!

[@krisd2518]

"...What you're using to watch Techquickie in class right now..." Hey, this is my free period, I can do what I want.

[@SangaPommike]

The Getac I've use (looking at their site, it might be an older version of B300) had a crappy screen (1024x768) and the keyboard wasn't exactly user friendly. The touchpad wouldn't work properly when there was a little moist. And after a few years (2 or 3), some of they keys on the keyboard (some letters, some numbers, some other buttons) don't work at all anymore. With that said, the battery life was impressive - at first you could easily get 24h (although now it's closer to a "mere" 6-7h) - and turning the screen to the brightest setting really makes it easy to see things on it even in daylight.

[@ferbilkers]

When rugged laptops were coming out, AT&T was giving them to their techs and had a guy come in to show them off. He said they could be thrown and dropped and still survive. To prove it, he threw it across the room and when it hit the floor, a screw flew out...

[@TopHatButcher]

I love this man.

[@MichaelSodapop]

Now you need to start reviewing these laptops because I'd buy one.

[@inCawHoots]

I use those Panasonic Toughbooks at work... they suffer from speed and response time...

[@Jaynez13]

You need to do a LTT episode on a Panasonic toughbook like the CF-33 and see how well it stacks up in extreme standards.

[@ShadzGamez]

My stepdad designed a laptop like this for the military a few years back. Even has the patent under his name

[@riccardobassini9452]

1:58 Oh god,Linus

[@RobotMowerTricks]

You won't believe this. I have followed Linus for years. I started researching rugged laptops today at work and was wondering where all the quality KZbin videos were... What timing

[@Warpath1337]

Hezekiah is a sweet name

[@tevinabeysekera6038]

My school gives each student a Lenovo yoga 260. I dropped it many times, and hasn't broke. My classmates have dropped it many times, the touchscreen and data haven't been destroyed.

[@shadowfan8296]

3:40 that joke was cold LOL

[@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413]

Wow! Spraying a laptop down with a pressure washer, that's one tough laptop.

[@hiitsmemindyourownbusiness2602]

They work by beating the hell out of someone who tries to attack you.

[@ahdiwjnaydjjs]

You had my curiosity at waterproof, my attention at dustproof, my money at Linusproof.

[@gkkamas123]

Increase video speed x2 times and then it gets really, really TechQUICKIE :D

[@Risinghaze]

I use a Panasonic Semi Ruggedized-Notebook for my daily job (I work for a big provider in germany) This thing is so heavy and rain... yeah... I work a lot outside, so it can rain. I killed one of those things 4 month after I got it, because water was in the monitor and everything just kind of blow up... We had the Panasonic CF-19. Nothing could kill this thing, but it was totally passive cooled, so it was not that powerful... Rugged LapTops are interesting machines and I couldn't work without them. But Panasonic really goes down with the quality... The new LapTops are DELLs. Those are really great!
