Dell has recently announced that it is launching the Latitude E6400 XFR laptop, which is a model that Dell claims can withstand all sorts of incidents that would normally cause damage to laptops.

This week will see the launch of a new laptop model from technology giant Dell, and the new model that it is launching is supposed to be resistant to a myriad of incidents that would normally cause extensive damage to laptops, according to Dell officials.

Dell officials reckon that the new laptop, which is the Latitude E6400 XFR laptop, will be able to withstand all sorts of problems, and this includes high pressure water sprays, drops, and dust. They say that the laptop is a rugged one that is designed to US military specifications. It is being targeted towards military workers and first responders.

The company further claims that this new rugged laptop can work in temperatures from -20 degrees Fahrenheit to 145 degrees Fahrenheit , and that it can withstand heavy rainfall and winds of up to seventy miles per hour. The laptop is also able to work for around one hour at altitudes of fifteen thousand feet.

With regards to drops, the Latitude E6400 XFR laptop is apparently able to survive drops of around three feet when it is running and four feet when it is switched off. A report based on testing of the system stated that the protective plastic cover on the LCD screen only shattered after a fourth drop from a height of four feet.

Dell has said that the model that was tested had already been dropped many times before as it was a pre-production demo model, and also added that the laptop comes with a three year warranty, which means that a cracked screen would be replaced immediately within this time.

The laptop enjoys additional protection through the use of ballistic armour, which is a durable material that is used in things such as ballistic missiles and various other military applications. The laptop was launched this week, and is available in the U.S., Canada, France, Spain, the U.K., Germany and Italy.
