Today's question of the day is a little bit different but it's probably more fun than usual so read on.
We're going to be testing rugged notebooks, but with half of us working in an office and the other half working from home in our sweats, we don't exactly work in an environment that calls for rugged notebooks. That's where you guys come in. We know all kinds of people read Tom's Hardware, so there's got to be some people out there who use their laptop in a way that necessitates a rugged notebook or actually require a rugged notebook for work.

Today's question of the day is: What can we do to test the durability of a rugged notebook?
