In the period of “south working” it is easier for the company laptop to operate in open-air environments and in less secure contexts than an office. Just as laptops and tablets increasingly present in production areas or construction sites need a level of protection appropriate to environmental conditions.
For this reason, the rugged computer sector shows no signs of abating. While remaining a niche, it continues to record a steady increase in market share and, above all, sees its features also extend to other families of laptops.
Acer submits to the MIL-STD-810G military standard not only its Acer Enduro rugged laptop family, but also the TravelMate and Chromebook series of laptops and Veriton PCs, with the aim of offering reliable and resistant products also to consumer and consumer markets. business.
Just to confirm the usefulness of high reliability specifications even in not extremely critical environmental contexts, Acer has introduced two new models within the Enduro family. The Enduro Urban N3 notebook and the Enduro Urban T1 tablet. The models are united by solid frames, resistant to shocks, falls, water infiltrations, dust and extreme temperatures. To these features is added the high brightness FHD screen to read the contents even in the open air, regardless of the external light conditions.
Maximum resistance to sand and water for everyone
Thus, the rain or moisture resistance tests, such as the drop and vibration resistance tests for the three product families, are very similar, although higher standards are required of the Acer Enduro. To give just one example, the Enduro are ready to withstand two days at temperatures down to -32 ° C and up to 4 hours at temperatures up to 65 ° C. While the TravelMates and Chromebooks withstand temperatures between -32 ° C and 49 ° C for at least 8 hours.
Resistance to dust and water, on the other hand, falls within the official tests of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), according to the EN 60529 standard. Acer’s models reach the highest level of certification for both dust and water resistance. In particular, total protection from the ingress of dust is guaranteed, including the vacuum seal, tested with continuous air flow. Furthermore, all models are protected against the effects of immersion in water under pressure for long periods (at depths greater than one meter and for more than 30 minutes).
Maximum security guaranteed
But Acer doesn’t stop there. To make your model reliable, you must also equip it with adequate cyber protection. A protection that today cannot be limited to data and programs, but must also include hardware components.
Some of the Acer Veriton tower models meet the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) criteria thanks to the Acer Security Suite, a complete package of hardware and software features designed to protect both data and hardware components. The Acer Security Suite takes care, for example, of encrypting program files and passwords and, together with the Acer PCGuard security solution, provides a complete solution for the protection and management of corporate computers ready to face all types of threats and simplify the corporate IT team work.
Acer PCGuard provides Instant Recovery for a recovery in seconds of a complete PC image previously saved and more. The Net Clone and Network Management functions, in fact, allow the installation of company software, the configuration and management of groups of computers from a single administration end point.
Ultimately, all Acer models guarantee maximum reliability for consumers and business users. Both thanks to the specific protection from atmospheric agents and particular environmental conditions, and to that of data and applications.
