    As we all know most of the Elitebook range comes with a Military standard defined by the DOD, (MIL-STD 810G), Now I'm unsure how far this military spec stands, but it at-least covers a certain amount of resistance to corrosive material and physical use.

    Recently I purchased a Elitebook 8540w notebook for daily use, as I needed something that has allot of power but also very sturdy, and after having a HP Compaq nw8240 for 4yrs and seen the abuse this got, I stuck with the HP range of workstation notebooks.
    But the other day the shoulder strap broke on my laptop bag as I was running to catch a train, nothing came out but after checking the laptop the clips to keep the battery in broke! And on the laptop body side, not the on the battery. This seams abit week, However the lid got slightly shifted to the right, so it heads abit or work to have to close properly.
    Other then that, the corner the laptop landed on has a small bump.

    Now my understand is that was abit weak for such a laptop to be classed as Military Spec. At least I hope I'm understanding there standards correctly.

    Let me know what you think? As I have 3yr warranty on this that I'd like to find out if it can cover
