- stavros 2y agoIt's not bulletproof if it didn't keep working.
- hiatus 2y agoBulletproof vests need to be discarded after being shot.
- justin66 2y agoA vest is bulletproof if you can shoot it and the human inside it keeps working. A laptop case is bulletproof if you can shoot it and... ?
- samatman 2y ago...the human behind it keeps working.
- tjoff 2y agoNot without their laptop they won't be working.
- FinnKuhn 2y agoYou obviously need to replace it just like you would with a bulletproof vest ;)
- justin66 2y agoI'd advise that human to invest in some body armor, for a variety of reasons. But it sounds like we're not talking about the same thing.
- Tepix 2y agoIf a human gets shot - even wearing a vest - they usually need a break, don't they?
- qup 2y agoIt's bulletproof if you can shoot it and the bullet doesn't pass through. You don't get to invent new definitions IMO
- ThePowerOfFuet 2y agoThey are indeed a one-shot deal.
- divbzero 2y agoI appreciate the article’s rhetorical flair: The bullet crashed through the LCD screen, giving the keypad a good slap in the teeth before wedging itself in the internal hard disk. Presumably it lay on the desert floor bleeding battery fluid for several minutes as its owner desperately tried, in vain, to save its life. It is not known whether the laptop would have had a better chance of surviving the assault, had it been installed with the 'ultra-safe' Windows Vista operating system.
