Dell Latitude ATG
$1,999.00
Released October, 2007
The Pros:Hard drive is shock-resistant by way of a rubberized mount--keeps data safe. Keyboard is LED backlit for comfortable nighttime use. Lots of customization options from extended storage (including SSD options) to optical drives and a floppy drive.
The Cons:Very odd native screen resolution (1440 x 900) isn't standard. Very small (80GB) hard drive won't hold up to modern storage needs. Keyboard doesn't feel the greatest to use--sports a "sticky" feel.
The Dell Latitude ATG is a second generation notebook made for semi-rough use. The ATG stands for "All Terrain Grade" but most observers agree it can't handle extreme environmants like its cousin, the Latitude XFR.

It does have an 80 GB hard drive that is shock absorbed and sits in a protective magnesium housing. The keyboard is spill-resistant (for all the coffee drinkers while you surf ) and is illuminated by 2 red LEDs mounted above the LCD Screen to shine down on the keys. It has wireless connection and many other customizable options on Dell's website. Semi-sturdy and semi-spill proof, the Latitude ATG offers a good option for an on-the-go user.

The price you pay for a rugged/durable system is a fairly bulky and heavy machine.
