Joining the ranks of the Acer Ferrari notebook, is the Hummer notebook. No word yet if it will survive a Hummer driving over it or not.
According to Cnet, "General Motors has signed an exclusive three-year licensing agreement with Itronix to make a semi-ruggedized portable computer styled after the Hummer.
Priced at $2,988, the laptops come with enough padding to survive six separate drops from a height of 30 inches onto two 3/4-inch sheets of plywood placed on top of concrete. Its battery lasts a little more than four hours; a battery extender pushes that to about seven hours. The Hummer laptop will be available at car dealerships that sell Hummer products or online at the GM-approved Web site Hummerstuff.com starting Nov. 1.
It includes a 1.86GHz Intel Centrino Pentium processor, a 12.1-inch color display, 512MB of memory, a DVD/CD-R/W combination drive, 8021.11a/g/b wireless connectivity and Microsoft's XP Professional operating system."
