New Laptop From HP-Built to Take It

Network World reports that HP has come out with a new ultralight in weight laptops that they call it ruggedized. That’s a fancy word for “built to take it” and is designed to compete with the line of laptops from Panasonic called “Toughbooks.”

What’s neat though is the use of Qualcomm technology called GOBI, that lets users switch between EVDO and HSUPA technology for Wireless Internet access that lets you be Working Anywhere.

These kinds of computers are great for job sites, remote working where conditions aren’t exactly pristine, or even in a place like a pet store, flower shop or pottery barn where there’s always something you don’t want touching your PC.
