4. Dell Latitude ATG D620
Editors' rating: 7.8
The good: Flexible configuration; shock-mounted hard drive; rugged, spill-proof design.
The bad: Some ports not protected; expensive and heavy compared to nonrugged versions of the same system.
The bottom line: Dell gives a popular system a rugged makeover with the Latitude ATG D620, making heavy-duty laptops much more accessible for business and industrial users.
