Lenovo said Monday that it will label eight ThinkPad laptops as “semi-ruggedized,” after those laptops passed special tests designed by the U.S. military to measure the toughness of a notebook.
The ThinkPad X200, X301, X200s, X200 Tablet, T400, T500, R400 and SL300 have all received the special designation, which was arrived at after all eight passed some specialized military tests. However, they have not been officially designed as “ruggedized,” which can also mean compliant with the MIL-STD-810F tests set up by the U.S. government for testing notebooks under a variety of conditions.
(A press release announcing the changes was posted on Engadget. Lenovo representatives could not be reached for comment, or for confirmation.)
Lenovo also said that it would equip its ThinkPad T400 laptop with an optional high brightness, wide angle screen. Prices will begin at about $1,350.
