Rugged laptop computers to rainforests and then to Antarctica

Margaret Dalzell Lowman, Ph.D. is a canopy biologist and spends most of her life in the middle of the tropical forest. The conditions there are very difficult, she was telling about 13 rain showers in one day, conditions where you can not use a digital camera to take a picture, but a regular laptop computer.

Now Margaret Dalzell Lowman received, along with 4 of her co-workers rugged laptop computers from Lenovo
, which is one of the computer manufacturars that provide rugged laptops. Due to this fact she is now able to take her rugged laptop computer out on the field everyday without worry about difficult conditions. She took her rugged laptop in places such as Cameroon, Africa, Australia, Peru and Belize and her rugged laptop worked like a charm.

The ruggedized notebooks can handle the challenging, hostile environments these scientists endure in the name of research, according to Lenovo. The ThinkPad X60s ultra-portable notebooks are small and weigh three pounds; they include a shock-mounted hard drive, an airbag-like Active Protection System, and rescue and recovery features that protect data. They are designed to survive extreme heat and cold and make it through extremely wet or dry conditions.

According to manufacturer's IT specialists,scientists took ThinkPads everywhere, from Mt Everest to rainforests, and they had no problems with their rugged laptop computers. Lowman is now ready to test her laptop in Antarctica, and there the rugged laptop should really be challenged by weather conditions. Let's wait and see what will happen in Antarctica with Margaret Dalzell Lowman and her rugged laptop computer.
