You can run Crysis while running in a crisis!
Ba-dum-tsss.
Cameron Wallis Crysis is easy to run but you just need to crank down the settings. If you are ok with bad graphics you can even run it on integrated graphics.
Jack Smith everyone is aware of that
It just the meme of crysis

play call of duty whilst answering to your call of duty?
Do a rugged laptop review and teardown it would be super interesting
I rebuild them for a living... Yeah no... Linus should never try this. Its a very tricky process that requires specialized tools and a lot of patience. Also on older ones like the CF-27 and CF-28, if you place your hand in the wrong place you can easily slice off a finger. It can take up to 3 hours to completely tear one down, normally around an hour if you're being careful. Putting one back together is even worse sometimes.
Curious what in the CF-27 and 28 is that sharp? Not doubting you, genuinely curious.
They very thin sheets of metal in them that are razor sharp. Its probably an over exaggeration to say cut off a finger but I have had to get a finger stitched up before because the cut was fairly deep. But knowing linus, he's probably figure out a way to cut off a foot by dropping it.
he already did check right side of your tab
At least we won't have to worry when he drops it (^_^)
"...even integrate small heaters"...
So they're running a GTX 480 then?
LOL
fun fact: any component is a heater if you overclock it hard enough.
But does it have RGB?
Judging that it's used in the military, I would say it has GGG.
It accualy does! Where I work we have Dell, Getac and Panasonic rugged laptops and they all have backlight keyboard. Only Getac has RGB tho (controled in BIOS.. wtf?!). I belive that's because of poor configuration of other two laptops.
RGB...pfff google Radium/tritium ;)
Sure...the Display ;)
I have a current-gen Dell 7214 rugged extreme and the keyboard is 4 level backlit with either white, red, green or blue. In the BIOS you can set your own hex colors as well.
A while back Panasonic had a destroyed Toughbook on display in the lobby of their US headquarters. A police officer had it in his cruiser and some lowlife shot at him, fortunately the bullet hit the lid of the Toughbook, stopping it from hitting the officer. The Toughbook was destroyed but it likely saved the officers life. THAT'S a tough notebook!
This just made my day worth living through.
No better way to prove your device is immortal than in the act of saving the users life.
This sole comment proves that technology isn't gonna kill us, it's going to save lives. Dear Parents, this is for you.
So...it is a Linus-proof?
Haha joke funny not quite
When you said the president ordering a military strike.
I just imagined trump heading over to amazon and adding “nuke North Korea” to his shopping cart
Trump would/will just tweet it.
lol
I wish I could like this comment 30 times.
LOL NK nuke would be money well spent..
The ocean is YUGE!
After spending two enlistments in the military, I can ensure you that "military grade" is usually cheap shit.
goodinsrt8 i love seeing "mil spec capacitors" etc on motherboards. You know it means "standard capacitors at triple price"
Too true. Civilians see "MILSPEC" or "Military Grade" stickers on a product and get a hard on for it. Veterans see them and wont go near the product with a 10 foot pole.
goodinsrt8 Lowest bidder. Yuuuuup.
As an army brat (my dad served 30 years) he always told me if the word military isn’t followed by discount turn around
usually means old and overpriced shit.
Linus: “These laptops can survive WAY more than a can of soda!”
Me: “Two cans of soda?:
"Hold my beer,,,"
NOTHING can survice two cans of soda!
"Who else needs an ice proof laptop?"
Canadians XD
Who needs a grease proof laptop?
Americans XD

Sad but true.
Most of the time it’s cold enough that if it’s off it’s cold enough that the ice didn’t melt and it’s mostly fine lmao

During my 19 years as a PC user (I started using the PC when I was 4), I have never spilled anything on it. Hooray!
I Love Japan The only adult content I saw when in that age was gore on Tumblr. You could say I was desensitized pretty early.
"spills coffee and tea on his laptop"
Tvenning Media Same.
I dropped coca cola on an expensive laptop in 2010 or something like that, I was like 12 or something and I gad gotten it for my birthday, I wanted to die.

I want a rugged gaming laptop.
I believe you're looking for an AlienHPDellware LapBurner 3000
Hi It's Me Mind Your Own Business “Gaming w8th the penguins”
And I want an RTX 2080Ti card. See, we can't all have what we want
For all that Mountain Dew and Cheeto dust huh
Your best bet is AlienWare or IBM ThinkPad
They are also nice for contractors taking their work to the jobsite...
I've been working with the Getac Tablets in the USAF. A lot of the design behind it is pretty brilliant like having two removable batteries inside so they can be swapped individually without shutting down. The covers also have 2 locking mechanism on them so they do not fall off accidentally if dropped. the i/o ports also have little plastic doors with rubber seals and locks on them. The only thing I do not like is how they are trying to replace everything we do with these tablets and synchronising all of the software together. Keeping everything up to date is a real hassle and if one part goes the whole thing often goes to shit and we just revert back to the old way.
Please do a video about the history of Thinkpads! /g/ will thank you!
yes. please do this linus.
LBlend did you have a stroke
/g/ is a garbage board
I use ruggedized laptops for my work in the Air Force. The ones we use are called Technical Orders, or T.O.s for short. The ones i use are for maintaining aircraft. Think of it as a manual with hundreds of manuals inside. They're old so they're slow af but yeah they're pretty strong. We had a Little Giant latter fall on one and put a hole in the back of the screen and it still works, we just put speed tape on it (aluminum tape) and it was good as new
Also ours are around $40,000 because they're encrypted
You can encrypte a hard drive basically for free. Getac B300\F110 and Panasonic cf31 are probably around 3k each. I'm not sure about the tablets.
Not proper level 1 encryption you can't. That said, $40,000 is ridiculously overpriced. There's companies that offer military encryption capable harddrives for probably closer to $2-3k
Evil bred I'm unfamiliar with encryption. I just know for these tech data he uses. They are all unclassified. With the green standard strip across the top of screen. Unless your working on the air Force 1. Most computers you load standard SDC off a external drive and it basically setups windows 10 for. Im going to look into it but I never thought it was "encrypted".
Tommy Maroney well technically some of the stuff is unclassified and yes the green strip on the top is typical. The encryption is for the e-tools application. Any T.O. you work with no matter the aircraft will have the green strip at the top. It's because it's a government computer and you can still access sites like the AF Portal and outlook
When I was working at Dell's custom server rack solution center, we built multiple server systems for the military in these awesome special server racks. They were like 10U racks, mounted on rubber bumpers on each side which acted like shock absorbers during transport, which were then connected to the rugged plastic exterior case. Both front and back doors had hermetic seals on them to make them waterproof during transport/storage.
They should use mechanical switches to keep IO from being powered when not in use
Roddy Lawrence how did no one else think of that
Still using my old T61 from Lenovo. Very durable, magnesium frame, spill proof. Swapped to SSD and relocated HDD into the Optical Drive slot (caddy from ebay). Added some RAM and i'ts usable as NAS, working with office docs and even creating music in Ableton :)
Panasonic Toughbooks handled our field excresises very well. The IO problem was solved with standardised peripherals secured in the ports with screws and seals. Great little laptops and tablets
I wish i could see more rugged laptops though 🙂
enlisted in army signal corps or air force. see one everyday. every single... day. and god forbid your terminal refuses to take a ISAKMP encryption key.
HVAC company I worked for gave them to many of the technicians. They phased them out eventually because of the high cost. They were something like $5000 - $8000 each. They use iPhones with otterbox cases now =\
Anyone think that the audio quality is a bit low?
Yes, it is pretty bad. Not sure if it's a low bitrate or a loudness issue but there is copious amounts of nasty audio saturation all over the place.
Was gonna say the same thing. It sounds awful
I just wish rugged laptops weren’t so expensive.
I use a tough book cf-31 and it’s great. Granted I can’t play civ 6, or any newer games, but after breaking 5 laptops it was an obvious choose. There’s a lot more about them though that you missed; most have easy changeable hard drives and battery so you can have spares with you. Also has units you can add for gps or and celleur data and much more. I just love those two, great for traveling.
If u wanna play games u can buy one with 16 more more gigs of ram
To anyone thats curious, the US Army has loads of those Panasonic Toughbooks and they see virtually no use. 99% of them are ancient and worn but they also feature some lackluster hardware. Brand new, they were probably decent but after the first year, they slow to a crawl and no one wants to use them unless they're forced to :s
I have a toughbook c-19 and it works great other than the battery you can't expect to play the latest games on a laptop made for spreadsheets
I have 2 CF-29'S I use them in the field for programming 2 way radios... but yeah mine are old and tired.. and don't do much except for that.
When they slow down they REALLY slow down..
Profile pic source?
If nsfw, warning plz.
No one should expect the latest hardware in these ultra rugged notebooks. Thats not really what they're designed for.
Those Toughbooks then all still run mechanical hard drives. We all know how fragile those drives are.

@@bibasik7 a site where people upload videos of other people beating the shit out of each other etc.
I wish there were more affordable rugged laptops on the market. Even putting a regular consumer grade laptop in a backpack can be rough, imagine just carrying the laptop like a briefcase by the handles.
i do some tech support for getac. Thanks for the video!
I have a ThinkPad X200, so my computer is pretty durable. It once literally fell 2 stories and was completely fine aside from a scratch or two, even when it was on. It does have an SSD so it's probably more impact resistant but still I don't think your Razer Blade could survive that.
Can I put it in a dishwasher
No, those laptops are just for extreme conditions like heat/cold, military and such. If you want to be able to put it in the dishwasher, microwave or on grill, buy the kitchen special edition(tm) /s
D I S H W A S H E R ?
*Y E S*
wew lad
You can put most fully ruggedized laptops in the dishwasher, if all the ports are closed and their seals are intact.
The dishwasher uses way less water pressure than most are rated for. But its much easier just to hose them down in the sink.
A dishwasher? HMMMMM... Y E S
this reminds me of some stuff my dad told me about his time in the Navy
apparently the ship computers were fully encased in plastic which was melted on, basically they were laminated, in order to ensure that even in the event of a hull breach they would continue to be able to function.
of course, this was back when "processors" were a board covered in transistors rather than the tiny hot chips of today, so heat wasn't really an issue. not sure how they'd tackle that now
Watched this from my new-to-me Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 Mk. 3. Its heavy (over 8lbs), bulky, has a whopping 2 USB ports, an i5 processor, and cost $900. But so worth it (for me). I've dropped it out of a truck onto concrete, used it in rain, and its been through some of the worst dust storms I've personally been in myself in Arizona. I wouldn't mind a few more USB ports, and if it was a bit faster... But considering all my electronics tend to have a precarious future in my care, I have to say this is the best laptop choice I could have made.
Just to add a couple more things in the off chance anyone wants to know... It has a 300gb intel SSD in lieu of a traditional hard drive, nearly all components are user replaceable (including but not limited to memory, storage, screen, keyboard, integrated GPS, integrated bluetooth/aircard(verizon LTE), touchpad, port covers and screen),and has a usable touchscreen (resisitive, so gloves and objects (stylus) can be used with it). The daytime view-able screen is badass, and it can sit in full view of the sun inside a closed car when its 120F outside and not break a sweat (if only I could say the same about me).
Just don't try any extreme gaming...
You forgot to mention the rest of the negatives... Their battery life is shit. Their upgradability is near shit. and Their performance is shit... I would rather buy a $500 netbook PC then one of these. I have personally used the GeTac (shown in vid) and three different Panasonic types (one shown in vid) in my almost 8 years in the US Army... Oh and by the way, They're not "Tough". I cant tell you how many of them we (my unit) broke over the years, and I'm not talking about the "oh I chipped a corner off". They were constantly breaking and where either being sent of to get fixed or out right replaced Every Month! Talk about a waste of tax payer dollars right there...
Diamondback Spectre yes but those things can survive real shit without getting turned into utter shit. Talk about shit
rogeh marbi, my Toshiba and asus laptops survived better than the pos tough books we had over seas...
Like all laptops
Getacs have 2 8700mah batteries. Over a year of constant use. The battery life drops 6000-7000mAh
You're an idiot and these things are tough as shit.
We've had hundreds of these stacked like firewood in sea containers, ran them at -10 C, or +40 C, in dust, or in extremely humid environments. An idiot officer we had thought buying something like a Fujitsu Lifebook was a more cost effective choice since they were "semi rugged" and the things fell apart within the first 3 weeks of a deployment we had to rush buy toughbooks and ship them half way around the world to replace them.
a video that would help linus: how does gravity work?
that wink, subtle linus... really subtle...
I work on F18's for the US Navy, all of our publications are on Panasonic Toughbooks. They have gotten a lot better in the last few years. Processors are much faster now, but mainly, they now have SSD's which not only are nearly immune to shock, but they are immensely faster. We did manage to break one the day after we got it. One of my guys left it sitting on top of the ejection seat and closed the canopy putting a hole in the top cover. We just tore it apart and swapped it with one from an older dead toughbook.
WHAT ABOUT BATTERY LIFE??????
It sucks. Or performance sucks. Or the laptop is ridiculously heavy. Pick two.
Comes with a built-in nuclear reactor
Getacs b300 has 2. 8700 mAh batteries
They aren't meant to be on 24/7.
Claude Vanlalhruaia but I guess if you are in the middle of the desert it better be able to last for a long time
I use a Dell Rugged everyday. Battery sucks and heavy. No moving drives and an i5 make it fairly fast.
Linus: “But what about heat?”
Apple in 2018: “It’s probably fine.” 🤷🏼♂️
"...What you're using to watch Techquickie in class right now..." Hey, this is my free period, I can do what I want.
My high school could use these. Everyone is dropping our current notebooks right now.
Its easy to fix that, make whoever drops it pay for the damages. Suddenly people become careful if the have to be responsible
PS: We don't have "military-spec" laptops in the military.
1:58 Oh god,Linus
The military needs rugged laptops so they can watch Linus anywhere.
But can it survive
--magnets?
Who else than penguin scientists use rugged laptops? Polarbear scientists.
Back in Afghan, i played jrpg on a rugged laptop . Between sandstorms and gunfights, never loved a product so much.
I popped over $5K for a Getac V-110 and it’s been worth every penny. It’s great being able to lug around a laptop where I don’t have to worry about every bump or drop of liquid. As a consequence I can take it anywhere - hiking, to the city, in hot weather and the rain. The screen is bright enough to view clearly in broad daylight. It’s bulky as a laptop but actually much more convenient to carry than other laptops since you don’t even need a padded case. Just attach a strap and toss it over your shoulder. I’ve been using it for over 4 years and I still love this machine.
My HP Notebook 15 has survived some shit.
Dandruff in everything.
Cum, not joking.
Water.
Overflowing the SSD.
Multiple 5 foot drops.
It became so slow and the trackpad stopped working so I got a computer. lol
BaconSubtractPancakes hahaha
I want to hear more about this cum incident.
well really, depending on how you have things set up, accidentally jizzing on your laptop during normal use isn't really that hard. Not that I would know anything about that.
How in the world have you done that.
I'm Saving for a Toughbook, and Believe me, These Laptops are the Shit.....
Akash Mishra Are you planning on studying penguins?

0:46 when he thinks you're not using one to watch his videos but you really are... LOL I want a channel all about my laptop!
Way back when I was in college a friend spilled an entire 16-ounce cup of beer on my Amiga. I quickly pulled out the plug and let it dry out for a few days, after which it worked just fine. Several months later I opened up the case for its first upgrade and found a thick mat of mold growing over half the motherboard.
how is linus going to invest in 2 $50,000 cameras just to upload tech quickies at 1080p?
other than the fact you liked your own comment it's because he needs the cameras to give him features such as sharp facial features and also not many people actually can afford the internet to stream 4k content (yes most of LTT viewers are not from the U.S.A. or Canada)
My phone records 1080p and it only caust me $650. Is it the best 1080 you ever seen? No, but it's still 1080p
8k helps with chroma keying and lets them crop in to a closer shot without loosing resolution. although I believe they just have a already set up blackmagic 4k camera that they use for techquickie (you can see in there studio tours)
FYI the US doesn't have the fastest wifi speeds if that's what you're implying
Even in the US internet suck. I got 300gb a month through cableone and if I go over once more they'll be forcing me up to the next plan that cost $25 more. Between game patching, RUclips and twitch I regular get close to the 300, 720p and 1080 are good enough. Specially since my monitor is a old acer 1200p 60hrz one.
WHY you downgraded to 1080p! I want 4K back!
"Can you really afford not to get one?" *Checks bank account* me: "Yes"
I was in the Army Field Artillery until I retired, we had a Windows tablet hooked up to control our howitzer. That thing was built to withstand the percussion of the artillery rounds and being jumbled around while the cannon was being towed by a Humvee over rough terrain.
No RGB?
No thanks.
another person with the RGB-litus condition
RGB lighting can go die, it's brutally useless a waste of electricity and is worse than useless it's a hinderance for portability, why would anyone want RGB lighting if it isn't necessary I'd rather have these than RGB lighting
I was joking if that wasn't obvious.
I myself despise the trend about RGB'ing everything
sadly people who are serious make similar comments.
at this rate I wonder how jokes will survive on the internet.
speaking of jokes on the internet I feel that not many have much chill......
that is not the point I'm making, I'm saying for computer components it's a waste of electricity and it reduces performance for some parts like RGB Ram, it sacrifices some speed to power the RGB light on it (I said Some parts, not all). I don't use Incandescent light bulbs anymore,
Probably not first
And you are first
9,296th
I repair multiple brands of semi-ruggedized laptop of the sort issued to folks who might drop them off of telephone poles while it is raining. Usually they are just regular laptops with a sturdier casing & water sealing flaps over all the ports - they are water resistant when the ports are closed but not when open. And they had SSD earlier than most. Often they use low powered (low performance) CPU so they don't need active cooling (but not always). I rarely see potting or other exotic stuff beyond gasketing the port-flaps and screen bezel.
I have a family member who's a boat captain, so i have a couple of cf-52 Panasonic toughbook's to tear apart and restore, they have every single kind of port you could imagine, pcmcia card and express card slots, some weird serial thing, like everything any nerd could every need to diagnose a thing. And you can use the expansion cards to add up to 6 usb 3.0 ports.
Linus's voice is seriously distorted from start to finish. Lots of audio issues in latest Techquickie episodes. What's happening?
Exploding Fish 8020 Isnt that a problem in your device or headphone?

You should stop. He has a point, and you made a cringey insult.
Because it should be an outdo
I found this to be a rather informative quickie, working in the gas industry myself there is the always present hazard of ignition sources mixed with gas. We have a couple dell xps rugged laptops because they are rated as intrinsically safe (class 1, div 2) and I was always curious how they manages this especially where i/o is concerned.
You mean latitudes, right? I’ve never seen a rugged xps laptop.
Coast Guard uses them because they can be intrinsically safe and operate in an explosive atmosphere. Our requirements were from -40 to +140 which is Alaska to being in the sun down south.
I thought MSI made military PCS
he looks like iddubs less cringy brother
felipe leamenez lookup Chris Ray gun. Ppl say he's like a twin to idubzz. Whoever idubzz is
the fuck is this comment
I recently bought a Panasonic Toughbook CF-31. You can drive a truck over it and use it in monsoon conditions and it will keep on trucking. And it's a good thing, because it's damn humid in this area and at night, the dew is so bad all my gear looks like it's been sprayed with a hose.
solution to basically everything:
-potting
-make sure it's rugged (think magnesium frame like almost all thinkpads have.)
-waterproof (plays into potting)
-tough screen
-good screen
-touchscreen (maybe, if you need it, most don't have it)
that's basically it.
Please stop wearing that shirt.
Stop.

Its so weird seeing a Tunnel Bear ad...
I have owned many Itronix ruggedized laptops (father-in-law was an exec)... It's sad that General Dynamics bought them and killed the brand. :(
I was once driving down the main street in my home town and the passenger door on my Geo (yes, it had been securely shut) flung open when I took a corner a little to fast; one of my Itronix laptops flew out of my car and skidded across the highway... I pulled over; dodged traffic and retrieved my laptop, thinking there would be no way it serviced... When I got back to my car, I tested it... WORKED PERFECTLY!
That intro... There's another dislike
go back to minecraft whiny bitch, no one cares.
oh no a 500 sub minecraft channel wants to act like everyone knows him lol
Rasv you have no idea what my channel is about..
Rasv you have no idea what my channel is about..
Rasv you have no idea what my channel is about..
You need to do a LTT episode on a Panasonic toughbook like the CF-33 and see how well it stacks up in extreme standards.
Not just researchers and military. I would also add different technicians and engineers to the potential users list. Sometimes you have to go in a field, and fix something while it's raining cats&dogs out there.
I thought the intro was gone, BUT IT CAME BACK
"Can you afford not to get one?"
Only if working near you, Linus...
Wow! Spraying a laptop down with a pressure washer, that's one tough laptop.
Spilled a bowl of Lucky Charms on my $1500 gaming laptop, luckily my instincts kicked in as soon as it happened I powered it off and took out the battery, flipped it so it faces down looking like a tent, let it sit for a week, and after it worked and I use it to this day. I've had it for 2 and a half years since then
My school gives each student a Lenovo yoga 260. I dropped it many times, and hasn't broke. My classmates have dropped it many times, the touchscreen and data haven't been destroyed.
I'm an IT technician for a college and I've been rocking a Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 as my field machine for years. Unkillable machine!
I use a Tough Book for my work on Radio sites in the winter. I've also seen them used by our local Law Enforcement and Fire Departments. I had one come in for repair that a fire truck ran over, I only had to replace the display on it, Everything else was worked fine.
The Getac I've use (looking at their site, it might be an older version of B300) had a crappy screen (1024x768) and the keyboard wasn't exactly user friendly. The touchpad wouldn't work properly when there was a little moist. And after a few years (2 or 3), some of they keys on the keyboard (some letters, some numbers, some other buttons) don't work at all anymore.
With that said, the battery life was impressive - at first you could easily get 24h (although now it's closer to a "mere" 6-7h) - and turning the screen to the brightest setting really makes it easy to see things on it even in daylight.
I love he explains this and makes it so simple
You Published this video at 6pm how would people be in class?
time zones
You had my curiosity at waterproof, my attention at dustproof, my money at Linusproof.
Now you need to start reviewing these laptops because I'd buy one.
Who needs rugged laptops? A Linus needs an rugged laptop!
finally something that linus can drop
That penguin comment after hearing of Grape-kun's passing... Did not expect to cry on this video ;A;
When rugged laptops were coming out, AT&T was giving them to their techs and had a guy come in to show them off. He said they could be thrown and dropped and still survive. To prove it, he threw it across the room and when it hit the floor, a screw flew out...
I use Toughpads on a production shopfloor due to vibrating, dusty and oily environment. Also our forklift drivers have them attached to their forklifts exposed to the elements. The hold up very well we had no damage to them due to the conditions.
They work by beating the hell out of someone who tries to attack you.
Is linus watching me, because I have mountain dew next to me in class while I watch this on my laptop
My highschool robotics team uses a bunch of Panasonic toughbooks so that if anything goes wrong with the robots we don't have to worry about the laptops breaking.
You guys nailed that freeze lol
