"Security & Durability
Unlike its consumer counterpart, XPS, the Precision 5530 passed 14 tests for for MIL-SPEC durability, the standards that the U.S. Military equipment must pass for ruggedness. That means it can be operated in extremely hot and cold environments (as low as minus 20.2 degrees Fahrenheit to as high as 140 degrees), survive the shocks of drops and gusts of dusts, among other things."
- goatherders 8y agoSo it's not approved for military use? Ok, point given.
- krn 8y agoThat's what a consumer-grade product is: when you get a substantially lower build quality for what otherwise is exactly the same machine.
- goatherders 8y agoSo most everything out there including everything Apple is consumer grade? Ok. Some people (including me) see military grade as enhanced build of the regular product but whatever. Potato, tomato.
- krn 8y agoThinkPads used by developers (X & T) meet the same military-grade standards[1]. It depends what do you want to happen, when your machine hits the ground.
