Вот здесь http://ruggedlaptops.wikidot.com/ есть краткий обзор про ноутбуки для работы в полевых условиях (водозащищенные). Еще там есть ссылки на специальные сайты по этой теме.
На всякий случай, копирую основной текст сюда. Если у кого-то есть время и желание - переведите на русский.
Overall, most people who owned rugged-ized and semi-rugged-ized laptops did not seem overly-impressed with their performance. Fully rugged-ized laptops are usually quite expensive (> $3k but see Systemax Review below) and often offer compromised performance and/or features. There it is important to identify what features are important first (e.g. screen read-ability, processor speed or battery life) and determine whether the model you are interested has these features.
I received several suggestions to use a standard (i.e. non-rugged-ized) laptop with a pelican case for transporting and storing at sea. Although this approach works well in boats with a closed canopy or cabin or dry-space, I would not recommend it for small (i.e. inflatable) type boat use. An even cheaper (and riskier?) approach is to wrap your laptop base in clear plastic wrap. As long as the plastic covering is inspected and replaced frequently, I have seen this technique work well for some low salt-water exposure situations, but as we all know, salt-water electronics do not mix well, so the extra money for a waterproof or resistant laptop may well be worth it.
On of the biggest issues with all laptops is screen-readability for outdoor use. There is a very good review (see link below) on how to evaluate screen readability with some examples of laptops with good and bad screens in this respect. Most standard laptop do not give an option for outdoor type screens.. Note also that touch-screens have reduced screen readability in sunlight.
It seems that for all but the most extreme conditions, a semi-rugged-ized laptop with a good pelican case might be the best solution. Some links to specific semi-rugged-ized laptops and rugged-ized laptop reviews are provided below. Everyone’s computing requirements and working situations are different, therefore it is not possible to recommend any laptop for everyone’s needs. |
