Australia, Sydney --July 7th, 2008 –
In a perfect world, the lightweight, compact notebook computer is suitable to “slip into a backpack, take anywhere, work anywhere”. However, in the real world, the very features that make the notebook computer attractive also make it likely to get spilled on, banged and dropped - too often resulting in serious and costly damage. Toughness and durability are important common sense features that most notebook computers lack.

To address this problem, Twinhead Corporation introduces the S15ST1 & S15ST2 with 3G, the seventh generation of its semi-rugged Durabook line. With over six years of experience producing the award winning Durabook line of computers, Twinhead Corporation is the first notebook manufacturer to promote the semi-rugged platform to the mass consumer market.

“Compared to ‘bargain’ notebooks, the Durabook S15ST1 & S15ST2 with 3G more than pays for itself and helps protect the owner’s financial investment with long-term durability and performance,”. “This is a portable computer that is built to withstand everyday accidents, a bike ride to school, an off-road weekend trip to the wilderness, and even a coffee spill at your favorite hotspot location. The Durabook S15ST1 & S15ST2 are a durable notebook PC built for the real world.”

The new Durabook S15ST1 & ST15ST2 are sturdy enough to take everyday knocks and bumps in stride with a 15.4” wide screen LCD display, anti-shock mounted hard drive, a magnesium alloy case, a spill-resistant keyboard, a protective spill tray underneath the keyboard to prevent accidental damage due to spills and a patented optical disk tray lock. The unit’s lightweight magnesium alloy case, 20 times stronger than ABS plastic, is tested to withstand drops from 29-inches onto plywood over concrete (unit off and display closed). The magnesium alloy top and bottom case protects the system’s vital components such as LCD, HDD and motherboard.

Performance inside and out
The tough exterior of the Durabook S15ST1 & S15ST2 with 3G are matched by superior performance inside. Powered by Intel Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology, the S15ST1 & S15ST2 features a Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor and is 3G optional upgradeable. The S15ST1 includes double protection smart battery circuitry, which helps prevent damage caused by overheating and voltage surges, as well as battery calibration that helps fight battery capacity loss after repeated charges and discharges. For security and identity protection, the unit features a smart card socket for identity protection and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) security device. A patented DVD/CD tray lock prevents unintentional ejection of the tray and disk due to drops or vibration. Finally, the slick and stylish design of S15ST2 have two distinctive special features of “hotswap” battery of up to 3 minutes in protecting your data in the event there are any extreme low battery power without switching off the machine and a hard acrylic LCD protective Sheet for the LCD for accidental break.
The unit offers an anti shock mounted 15.4-inch LCD screen with WXGA+ resolution (1440 x 900). Other features of the Durabook S15ST & S15ST2 include an anti shock mounted 80/100/120/160 GB hard drive, Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator x3100, Intel® Smart 2D display that can support up to 358MB share graphics memory, and an Intel® Pro/Wireless 4965AGN (802.11 a/g/n) network connection with Bluetooth EDR 2.0 capabilities.
