Xplore Rugged Tablet PC Drop Test

A series of drop tests on the Xplore Technologies rugged tablet PC. Demonstrates the incredible military standard toughness that can be built in to a tablet computer. There is also a demonstration of the strength of the screen with a hevay ball bearing dropped from about 15 feet onto the glass.

Impressive stuff!!!!!

There is no competitive product that could survive that level of dropping without the case splitting and the touchscreen collapsing.

The new model has a much thicker glass LCD surface and that is the point of the video.

With a 2 minutes boot up time under Windows XP it would be a long and boring video clip each time to prove it works.

However, the actual point of the test is to demonstrate the glass can resist extremely high impacts...the Xplore is a military standard unit and is independently tested to survive drops onto concrete from 39 inches 26 times while still running! We have seen some units dropped from 10 meters onto rock surfaces and still work!

Would have been worth while to at least "waste" the time doing it once at the end?.. yes?

I take it that it survived. I just picked up one of these and am looking forward to seeing how it performs over the long haul. I was very happy with my G-tec laptop.

If this still works after your abuse.. perhaps you could do a follow up talking a bit more about the workings.

Thanks for the response.

Seriously not understanding what the point of this is.. seriously.  For one thing he's not apparently turning it on after each drop.. Was the point just to see at what point you could break the case.. or was it to actually test the unit?

At this point, you could have just cut to the chase and tossed it out of an airplane.

Impressive? Yes but you need to show the unit being turned on after each drop.

I'm not sure what this proves if you never turn it on after? Can it handle these shocks while it is running? Still a nice product though.
