The Durabook D14RA has what might be called stealth ruggedness: It looks pretty average on the outside, except for its black rubber corners, and even carries an ordinary, affordable price tag of $1,299. But inside is a semi-rugged notebook that can handle more than its share of knocks, drops, and splatters. If you’re willing to deal with below-average battery life and low-end graphics, this system is worth considering. Some of the ruggedness comes from the Durabook’s magnesium-alloy case. The physical design should satisfy just about all users.
