Our new Dell Latitude notebooks are subjected to extensive shock and fatigue
testing, destroying an average of 300 prototypes before the first new model ships.
The result is an incredibly tough line of notebooks that features Mag-Alloy casings
and a higher degree of durability that you can rely on, day in and day out.
ROADREADY™ QUALITY
• RoadReady™ Shock and fatigue testing subjects Latitude systems to conditions worse than
they will likely encounter in everyday use
– New tests, e.g., Dust resistance test, the Train Test (hinge stiffness)
– New, tough specifications based on customer preferences e.g. keyboard and buttons,
skin temperatures
– 130K sq. ft. testing facility dedicated to ensuring high quality systems
• Designed to result in a highly reliable notebook
