Keeps on Clicking

If and when you're in the market for a new laptop computer, there is a tougher breed to consider. Known as "semiruggeds," they shrug off drops and liquid spills - the two big reason for computer failure. What makes them very oops-proof? Inside, rubber cushions the hard drive and other fragile essentials. Outside, a thin vinyl film shields the keyboard, speakers and track pad.
Depending where you shop, semirugged start at about $2000.
