We put a Rugged tablet and laptop through a grueling gauntlet of real-world tests in a local auto shop, just to see if they could survive a punishing day in the garage. Spills, sparks, heat, hood slams, grease, grime, motor oil…even the full crushing weight of a car, nothing can stop the Rugged from working as hard as you do. See for yourself.
