Posted July 8, 2011

Rugged PC Review has posted a review of the GammaTech Durabook S15C rugged laptop.

Here are some highlights from the review.

GammaTech Durabook S15C highlights:

  • Very solid and well-made
  • Very good performance with Intel Core i5 processor (i3/i5/i7 available)
  • Bright display with good outdoor viewability and modern 16:9 1366 x 768 pixel wide format
  • 1920 x 1080 display option
  • Excellent keyboard and touch pad
  • Very solid magnesium-alloy chassis and very clean construction
  • Low starting price, and even well-equipped a good deal
  • Spill-resistant design
  • GammaTech does built to order (BTO)

But keep in mind:

  • Narrow vertical viewing angle
  • Small standard battery
  • No HDMI port
  • Limited ruggedness (2.5 foot drop)
  • No operating temperature range listed
  • Fan a bit noisy and comes on often (adjustable in BIOS setup)
  • Adding options can quickly double the cost
