The Tiger-Resistant Laptop

I don't know about tiger resistant, but I know the ones the military uses are suppossed to be strong enough to take fire from a 7.62 round.

What's tougher? A tiger resistant laptop or a person that would require a tiger resistant laptop? (or a person that requires a laptop that can take bullet, for that matter?)

It's nice to see a company building something made to last for a change.

The hardware survived only to have Windows BSOD! While waiting for Windows to reboot, the operator was eaten by a tiger.

Nope sorry the only thing I can see that MIGHT be able to stop this laptop would be a M1 Abrams tank and those are hard to carry. And then there is also that one guy that works in my department that has killed 1/2 a dozen laptops and 3 PCs but he is hard to stay in the same room with

Sometimes you just can't google the terms 'avoid eaten by tiger' fast enough.

But when you do google them, you get the ominous google "tip" on the screen:

These results do not include the word "avoid".

Going back to the bullet proof model (I don't know how well they'd stand up to a shot from an ACP, but it'll last against a regular 7.62), it weighs a good 5-6 lbs.
