Mobile devices are becoming part of our daily life from
home to office to on the road. We rely on notebook computers, cell phones,
and other portable devices to enhance our lives everyday. But when it
comes to portable devices, accidental damage is the #1 cause for product
failure. According to an independent study, 18% of notebook computers
will be physically damaged and returned for repair in the first year
of ownership. Over 60% of these notebook computers are damaged by accidental
drop and over 30% are damaged by liquid spills. That’s why Twinhead
developed the DURABOOK Notebook series with rugged features to give
you added protection from normal everyday mishaps. The DURABOOK incorporates
industrial rugged features to help protect the vital components of your
notebook such as the motherboard, hard drive and memory module and yet
retains a slim and lightweight design allowing for ultimate portability.
In addition to its rugged features, the DURABOOK is a high performance
and user-friendly notebook computer. The DURABOOK is built to provide
true mobility and functionality. With over eighteen years of experience
of manufacturing notebook computers, Twinhead once again provides a
product, which is “Two Steps Ahead”.
