    I am not impressed. If they ran it over with a M1 Abrams tank, I would be impressed.

    The big tires on the bike serve to spread out the force quite a bit. I'd be more impressed if they did a pogo-stick demo instead..

    and if it was a car you guys would want a SUV. If it was an SUV you would want a 18-Wheeler, if it was an 18-Wheeler you would want a tank, if it was a tank you would want a jet plane, if it was a jet plane you would want a cargo plane, etc., etc., etc.

    I would like to see a D630 go under that test...in fact I have seen many Dells stress tested and just get obliterated easily compared to rugged notebooks like the Thinkpad or Durabook.

    That was only a Ford Ranger pick up truck. Again, I am not impressed. You would be surprised what can survive the weight of one wheel of a pickup truck. Even a cheaper consumer notebook could withstand that test.

    Now tell me, how would you fit 2 wheels of a pickup truck on top of a 14inch laptop at the same time?

    Better yet, I will be really impressed if you can figure out how to fit all 4 wheels of a pickup truck on top of a 14inch laptop?

    Just use a larger truck, like a Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon XL or H1 Hummer.

    OK, it is only a light duty truck. Even a cheap Lenovo or Dell consumer brand should withstand that.

    He misses the laptop completely :confused: Further more, why the helmet?

    EDIT: After watching it 5 more times he sort of hits the edge. He should have landed on the center of the screen.

    if he misses it, how come the computer turns off?
    the helmet is just in case he falls i think.

    I did write an edit that says he barely hits the edge. He should have landed on the center of the screen and not nick the side of the laptop.
