Group Mobile, well known for carrying the top brands in rugged laptops, rugged tablet PCs, rugged smartphones, and rugged handheld computers announces their “Best Rugged Computers of 2014 Guide”. The guide is based on opinions of Group Mobile’s rugged computer experts, as well as feedback from Group Mobile customers. For 2014, the categories analyzed include Best All-Around Fully Rugged Laptop, Best Bargain in a Semi Rugged Laptop, Best Bargain in a Tablet , Best Handheld Computer, and many more.

In the Best All-Around Fully Rugged Laptop category, Group Mobile selected Panasonic’s Toughbook 31. In making this selection, Group Mobile’s experts took price, processor, battery life, wireless options, media bay options, display brightness, and the ability to

withstand harsh environments into consideration.

“The Toughbook 31 is used by our customers in some of the harshest and challenging conditions,” said Stephanie Kreitner, Vice President of Group Mobile. “The Toughbook 31 continues to exceed the constantly growing rugged computing needs of our consumers.”

The Tougbook 31 features Intel® Core™ i7, i5 and i3 processors, combined with available discrete graphics to deliver amazing performance and greatly enhanced video and 3D graphics. A 1,200 nit sunlight-viewable touchscreen display allows users to work efficiently in any lighting condition. An integrated webcam option and larger storage capacity set it apart from the competition. To learn more about the Toughbook 31, visit http://www.groupmobile.com/product.asp/sku=4624.

In the Best Bargain in a Semi-Rugged Notebook category, Group Mobile has a two-way tie and likes the Getac S400 and Toughbook 53. The Getac S400 is one of the most durable semi-rugged notebooks on the market. It features Getac’s KryptoShell™ body which allows the S400 to withstand temperature extremes, shock, vibration, and drops from up to 2.5 feet. It features a 14 inch widescreen, sunlight-readable display, and a water-resistant keyboard. To learn more about the Getac S400, visit http://www.groupmobile.com/product.asp/sku=4982.

It has an impressive 14-inch display, spill-resistant keyboard, and a built-in handle. The Toughbook 53’s shock-mounted flex-connect hard disk drive with quick release can handle bumps and vibrations to keep your important data safe.
