      I heard dell made a really tough laptop etc, so i looked it up: Rugged Laptops

      And it says on that page that
      Wtf? A Laptop that can take a bullet? Anyone that can confirm/destroy this myth?

      EDIT: Holy shit, base price: $3800 :p

      I don't know why, but its great for construction sites and stuff like that where shit like hammers get thrown / dropped, nails and other stuff is laying everywhere. But yes, you don't want a flimsy laptop in the middle of a work job

      I meant literally, can it take a bullet and still be usable?

      The military uses Panasonic Toughbooks. They are pretty unreal. When you drop it from 6 feet with the lid open and it just bounces and nothing breaks, its a good feeling :)

      Im not sure if they can take a bullet, but im sure its the closest thing that your going to get.

      Some do. A lot of the Army uses Dell or IBM, too

      We have some of those type of laptops here at my work. They are used in the Campus Police Cars, they are heavy as hell.

      They tested this myth in mythbusters, and actualy a shot with shotgun aimed to the battery couldn't past trought it, so with some luck, "normal" laptop can stop it, if it hits to the battery.
      But I guess more powerful gun can pierce trought it pritty easily.

      a lot would depend on the bullet.
