CF-30 destruction 'test' on film

This is a somewhat daft comparison test between a CF-30 and a Motorola rugged laptop.

The Toughbook comes of worse, but this appears to be due to it bouncing off a brick wall - watch carefully near the end of the clip..

I know that manufacturers have samples available for revues and testing

When they send out a new product for a revue they expect to get it back usually within about 60days
These items are not freebys, unless they are just worth a few dollars

I would love to see the face of the person at Panasonic’s when he opened the package containing the returned Cf-30

I've either seen this or something similar. These things happen with Dynamite. Let's see what happens with normal rugged use.

I'd still rather have a Toughbook. It's a known, proven laptop.

 

I'd rather have... the dynamite stuffed up the host's arse, and whack the other one upside the head with the MoldyRolla soze I kin skeet off with that brand-new CF-30...

I'm STILL not cleaning THAT up...

 

They souped up the explosion post-filming. Listen to the explosion on the video, then listen to the sound the AK-47 makes in this Counter Strike video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdoEm99Z138

 

I agree that the wall was probably the culprit, someone should do the math of about how high they went compared to the weight of a CF-30 and find out how fast it was traveling when it was falling and find out the G-force an impact at that speed is against a solid wall, the other thing to consider is the motorola looked to fall into some weeds or grass wich may have cushioned its fall compared to hitting brick

 

Umm... do we REALLY care about the opinions of 2 people who are senseless enough to deliberately commit such an atrocity? I STILL say the dynamite should have been applied rectally...

This subject has already burned up enough time in my mind.

 

I posted this video a while back... pretty cool if you ask me

 

lol

Sounds good to me, who's got the dynamite?

 

No, I meant the dynamite THEY used to commit that atrocity. I would NEVER waste perfectly good nitroglycerin on @sshats like THEM...

Big Bang theory? That says men are always on the hunt for a bigger explosion, right?

 

CF-30 vs H2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N53xYt_QXO4
This YouTube video is actually from https://www.mylifeistough.com/ which.. has another hilarious video. Although it's for the CF-52. Sheesh. Where do I apply to be a tester or an ad exec to make a BETTER demo video!!!!!!

Itronix demo. Hehehe 2:53 ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iguNDe0t9o0&feature=related

 

That’s a nice refreshing change from that stupid blow-up video
This is practical real-world testing

Watching and hearing that 30 scrape along the ground when the back wheel hit it made me cringe....

 

Oh, H3LL YEAH, me too!

But That Itronix test where the guy swung the laptop around his head by the network cable made me snarf... Of course, I HAVE been mightily pissed more than once about how easily that port gets damaged in a laptop. Much rather replace the cable or the cable end than my rj-45 jack...

Like fingernails on a chalkboard...
