Dell Latitude ATG D630

PROTECTOR OF PRECIOUS DATA

When Dell tested the shock-resistance of the D630, the test equipment broke before the laptop’s drive did. The D630 is the first commercial laptop to replace a traditional hard drive with flash memory, which is made of data-storing chips similar to those in a camera’s memory card. Hard drives have disks that spin and writing arms that move around. A solid-state drive has no moving parts, so it’s not only rugged but also consumes less power. From $2,700; dell.com
