Rugged Notebooks

Individual configurations such as other hard disks or LTE modules are of course possible, even in larger quantities. Just send us an e-mail with the necessary requirements and we will send you a suitable offer.

Unlike consumer or business notebooks, rugged notebooks are manufactured in much smaller quantities. IT hardware can be produced cheaply if it is manufactured in large quantities. Large and fast production lines can be set up for automated production. However, in the production of ruggedised notebooks everything is different. For industrial customers, long-term availability is also important. The components used can hardly be compared with those of conventional IT. They are designed for long-term availability, durability and extreme temperatures. At the same time, ruggedised notebooks are only produced in very small quantities, and their production can hardly be automated due to the high effort involved in housing production. All this increases the manufacturing costs. Additional cost drivers are the costly sales and customer support – because before the purchase a lot of advice, loaning and possibly also adjustments are required.

We offer quantity discounts starting from a small order quantity. With our product configurator you can let us know which options you need exactly in which quantity. We will gladly send you the best price

If required, we can also deliver the devices with LTE module, RFID module, illuminated keyboard, foreign language keyboard, spare battery, or car charging adapter module.

We have a large selection of office notebooks, ultra-light notebooks, very powerful notebooks and robust tablets. Please send us an e-mail with your requirements and we will offer you the most suitable device.

The so-called ruggedized notebooks have been designed for use in particularly harsh environments or under adverse climatic conditions. They are so robust that they are suitable for outdoor and open-air use. WEROCK offers high quality rugged laptop models for a variety of applications in the computer sector. Rockbook notebooks belong to the category “Fully-Rugged”. Generally, such laptops are divided into the categories Semi-Rugged, Fully-rugged and Ultra-Rugged:

• Semi-Rugged
  Very compact with noble design, oriented to consumer devices, reasonably priced.
  High performance processors require ventilation slots.
  Vibration-, splash water- and shock-proof e.g. according to IP53
  partly to military standard.
• Fully-Rugged
  Fully protected industrial/military laptops.
  Completely water and dust protected housing, protection class IP 65.
  Certified to military standard MIL-STD 810G (Military specifications for use in the most adverse conditions).
• Ultra-Rugged
  Maximum protected industrial/military laptops for extreme requirements. Completely water and dust protected housing, protection class IP 65, certified to MIL-STD 810G + EMC. Usually equipped with special screw terminals for use in military applications.

In addition to our own notebooks, you can also obtain semi-rugged and ultra-rugged notebooks from us. We are looking forward to your inquiry.

For the production, packaging and transport of a Rockbook, we make compensation payments corresponding to a CO2 emission of 180 kg per kilo product weight. The actual footprint is significantly lower. As the effort and costs of calculating the exact footprint would not be economical for industrial niche products, we and our partners decided to overcompensate significantly.

One of the major emission factors, besides manufacturing, are packaging and transport. Rockbooks score here with a cardboard that consists almost entirely of unbleached paper. In contrast to the usual transport route by air freight, the devices reach Germany by rail. Not only because of the lower price, but also because of the significantly lower CO2 emissions – a CO2 saving of about 90%. Only for particularly urgent orders and if it is logistically unavoidable, we choose air freight.

Whether a notebook or a laptop makes more sense depends on the intended use. The main difference between the two device concepts lies in the keyboard. The notebook has one, a tablet does not.

So think about it: Do you have to enter a lot of text? If the answer is yes, you are usually better off with a notebook than with a tablet. If this is not quite clear, you should also consider whether your software can be operated at all with your finger (or a pen). In particular, the question arises whether the control elements are large enough to avoid making incorrect entries with your finger.

As an solution between both there are also notebooks with touchscreen as well as convertibles which fulfil both application aspects.
