Systemax Assault Notebook
This notebook reminds me of the one Robert Hawkins uses in Jericho. Made from magnesium alloy, complete with anti-shock padding and spill-resistant keyboard, this is a laptop you can take with you to the battlefield! Okay, maybe not really, but it’s still a tough machine.
The computer is powered by an Intel dual core CPU up [...]
