Most people don’t think of General Dynamics when they think of laptop computers. But if you’re a first responder or military power user who’s concerned not only about ruggedness and reliability, but about security as well, then you might want to check out the GoBook series of laptops by General Dynamics Itronix Corp.

Last week, I visited the company’s Scottsdale, Ariz., campus and spoke with Marie Hartis, director of marketing there, to discuss what makes the company’s rugged notebooks, tablet PCs and handheld devices different from their commercial counterparts.

In short, this is not your average rugged computer that you can purchase at your local retailer. This is a computer that can be submerged in water, frozen in ice, buried in sand, and used in complete darkeness with infrared glasses. Check it out.
