Reviews describe it as "Nearly invincible and invulnerable", but did they toddler test it? (lemmy.world)

We used these ToughBooks on deployments in the US military about 20 years ago. One of the guys in my unit tested it by slowly driving a Humvee over it. It still worked. Screen was a little cracked, though.

I was a tech reviewer back then and I remember them doing a demo at a show with a Humvee driving over it. Not even a banged up screen in the demonstration. Truly impressive. Gel "envelope" around the HDD, gaskets throughout for water protection, metal alloy body (back when everyone else was still using plastic).

Couple of years later and I got a smaller, slightly less ruggedized version to test as well and turned my 2 1/2 yr old loose on it and absolutely no issues. So toddler tested almost two decades ago!
