The Most Extreme Laptop

Perhaps you're tired of your laptop
breaking due to spilled food or liquid. Maybe you want to be able to
let your fumble-prone secretary carry your laptop from time to time.
If you're sick of packing your laptop in an airline bag that gets
thrown all over the place in the back of the airport, it's time for
you to upgrade to the Dell Latitude XFR series: the toughest,
sturdiest and most extreme laptop series available on the market.

The XFR series is made according to
Ballistic Armor Protection System specs. The casing has twice the
impact strength of traditional magnesium alloy, and the system works
in temperatures ranging from frigid to desert-like intensity. The
laptop can be dropped from four feet with no damage to the system
whatsoever. The seal on the XFR series has an International
Protection Rating of IP65, which means that the laptop will perform
well even in extreme dust situations or even while it is being
directly shot at by a water hose. It even meets the MIL-STD 810F
standard against radiation and pressure. This is in addition, of
course, to the usual rugged laptop specs that you may expect,
including no glare direct-sunlight screen.

While the XFR series has been around
for a while-and there are many other laptop computers on the market
that meet a number of the above specifications-the latest generation
of XFR laptops has finally bucked the trend of pursuing sturdiness at
the expense of computer power. The Dell Latitude E6400 XFR comes with
a high-powered graphics card that you normally only see on gaming
devices, a 128 GB solid state drive that dramatically increases
processing efficiency, and dual channel 8GB DDR2 memory with 800 MHz
bandwidth. Other rugged laptops do exist on the market, but only a
few come close to this processing power.

The XFR series is available for anyone
to purchase. Despite this seemingly glowing review, it would be
difficult to really recommend just anybody to buy this machine. This
much sturdiness coupled with this much processing power is certainly
impressive, but how often are you really going to need all of these
qualifications? The aluminum unibody solid state drive MacBook Pro
can only survive a drop from half the height of the XFR series, but
it also costs half as much. As the intro stated, one valid concern
might be how airlines treat your luggage; but is it really so hard to
just bring your laptop with you on the plane? Even a well-designed
metal case would cost much less than the XFR series, and it would
solve your problems just as efficiently.

Unless you're going into a war zone and
have need of a computer that can survive extreme dust locales, salt
water splashes, low/high atmospheric pressure, and the possibility of
being shot at, I cannot with good conscience recommend purchasing the
XFR series. Actually, I can't even recommend it in that scenario, as
if you're in that kind of situation and need a high-processing power
laptop, then the Federal Government should really be footing the
bill.
