If you’ve killed few laptops while traveling then Asus’ got a deal for you. Asus B51E is drop tested (on Military standards “MIL 810F Method 516.5 Procedure IV”) and can survive a fall of 75 cm. Its magnesium alloy chassis is protected by a special film that avoids scratches and it’s also got rubber pads on edges to prevent it from shocks. Sponge protection system that lies beneath its internal hard disc takes care of your precious data stored on the memory.
Not impressive enough? Then let me tell you that it is also spill-proof up to 120cc, thanks to its specially designed integrated keyboard. With Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (T8300/T8100/T5850/T5750) and Int. GMA X3100 Gfx, it packs some serious power under the hood. Other specs include:-
• Mobile Intel GM965 Chipset
• Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/4965ABGN Network Connection
• Windows Vista Business
• RAM DDR2 667MHz, up to 4GB (2 slots)
• SATA HDD up to 320GB & ODD S-Multi
• Built-in webcam 1.3M pixel (Optional)
• Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR (Optional)
Measuring at 36.5cm x 27.3cm x 3.82 cm, B51E weighs 3.1 kg (8-cell battery included). It sure is bit bulky, but then, any rugged gadget is supposed to be that way. There’s no word about it’s availability or price but they’ve already released a commercial for B51E, video for which is given above.
