7. Averatec Voya 6494
Editors' rating: 7.7
The good: Magnesium alloy case feels rock solid; light price and lightweight compared with the ruggedized competition; Smart Card and SIM card slots; well-rounded configuration delivers ample performance.
The bad: Not configurable; Draft N Wi-Fi is absent; online support is more miss than hit for this model.
The bottom line: As perhaps the most affordable ruggedized laptop, the Averatec Voya 6494 is a tempting choice, even if you don't work in the field under harsh conditions.
