Twinhead Durabook D13RY and D14RY rugged lappies

by Paul Miller, posted Jan 11th 2007 at 8:57AM

If you like your laptop beefy and drop kick-able, you might be into Twinhead's new Durabooks, the D13RY and D14RY. The laptops feature magnesium-alloy cases, spill-resistance and anti-shock mounts. As for specs, the 13.3-inch D13RY and 14.1-inch D14RY feature 60-100GB HDDs, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, Bluetooth options, and combo drives on up to super-multi DVD drives. Apparently these laptops include an "exclusive" optical disk tray, which protects against accidental tray ejection, drops and vibration. Both units are rated at US military 810F standards, so each can withstand 29-inch drops onto hard surfaces. No word on specific procs, pricing or availability.

Actually, Twinhead makes the Panasonic notebooks. Twinhead is the ODM for Panasonic

That laptop looks interesting. If it isn't so expensive I might consider getting one for my next laptop since I treat them wuite badly.

Oh, and BTW, Lappies...I don't know when are you going to stop using that. Really, it's getting old since you were flammed because of it so don't use it anymore.

This laptop looks interesting. I'd like to know the price.
Lappies...I don't know when are you going to keep using that term. It's getting old since that time when you were flammed because of it, so let it go.

Twinhead are the ODM for Panasonic - so they are not a rip-off, they just don't carry the brand cache.
