As IT operations professionals segment their mobile users, it's important to include work environments and travel schedules in the mix. While it might involve only a small percentage of employees for most enterprises, some workers demand laptops that are more durable than the enterprise-class solutions you find from Dell, HP, or Lenovo. Established rugged notebook vendors Panasonic and General Dynamics Itronix are leading this industry forward, and we recommend that clients include both in all rugged laptop bids. But they're facing increased competition from other rugged infrastructure vendors and Dell, which might be worth including in your next evaluation process.
