    But you know it's not going to break:

    Pretty powerful compared to older versions... I'm surprised they're going for active cooling as you think that would make it more susceptible to.. everything?

    Also.. 1,100-nit is ridiculously bright. That's freakin' sweet. And 11 hours battery? Maybe it'll have switchable graphics?

    I like the covert mode. Totally neat.

    I wish I could afford this. For the first time, reasonable power in a rugged notebook. It's no Clevo, but Clevos can't exactly take all the spills a ToughBook can handle.
