A semi-rugged laptop is engineered with reinforced components, shock-mounted hard drives, spill-resistant keyboards, and toughened exteriors to ensure it performs reliably in challenging environments.

Key characteristics include:

  • Drop resistance (up to 3 feet)

  • IP rating for dust and water resistance (typically IP5x or IP6x)

  • Shock and vibration protection

  • Outdoor-readable displays

  • Extended battery life

In KSA, where professionals often work in desert climates, remote oil fields, and mobile operations, these laptops are indispensable.
