Dell Latitude ATG D620

CNet has a review of the Dell Latitude ATG D620 and writes:

"The screen bezel, the keyboard tray, and the keyboard are black with silver accents, lending the machine an industrial look. The touch pad has two sets of mouse buttons--one above and one below the touch pad--along with a more traditional ThinkPad-style pointing stick in the keyboard, so you should be able to find an input style you're comfortable with. The keyboard tray itself is sealed, offering resistance to dust and minor spills. We tested the system with a few small water dribbles, and it easily survived our hazing. While it doesn't meet military specs for truly rugged laptops (MIL SPEC 810F), it does meet the requirements in certain categories, including vibration and humidity."

"To keep your data safe, the ATG D620 ditches the more common 2.5-inch hard drive for a smaller 1.8-inch version, which is then stuffed into a custom, shock-mounted 2.5-inch hard drive bay. You lose some speed and capacity, but hard drives and their spinning platters are notoriously fragile. If you're in a situation that calls for a rugged laptop, you'll want the extra data protection--even at the expense of a few rpms. The rear ports--two USB 2.0, Ethernet, modem, VGA, and serial--are protected with a plastic cover, but the side ports (headphone, mic, PC card, and two more USB 2.0 jacks) are left exposed. We would have preferred to see all the connections covered (as on the Itronix Hummer)--a little sand in a USB port can ruin your whole day."
