What is a Semi-Rugged Laptop?

A semi-rugged laptop is designed to withstand more wear and tear than a standard laptop. However, it’s not as durable as a fully rugged laptop.

The semi-rugged CF-53 meets the MIL-STD-810G certification and is IP65-rated. Both are rugged standards that help you ID how your machine will handle stressors. MIL-STD-810G confirms what level of stand drops, shocks, extreme temperatures, etc, a laptop can handle, while the IP rating is the level of dust and water protection the machine has. For example, with an IP65 rating, the dust is rated at a 6, and the water is rated at a 5. Visit our blog for more information on the standards and levels of toughness.
