A rugged computer or rugged notebook is specifically designed to operate in harsh usage environments and conditions such as outdoors, in or on vehicles, in factories, warehouses, or service shops. Rugged computers or rugged notebooks are designed from inception for the type of rough use typified by these conditions; commercial computers make poor substitutes.

Rugged computers have features like magnesium casings, waterproof keyboards, sunlight-readable displays and shock-mounted disk drives. Vehicle mounted environments (e.g. public safety vehicles or utility trucks) are well suited for rugged computers as the vibration and jolts inherent there would cause failures in commercial portable computers. Rugged computers are available in laptop, tablet pc, handheld, fixed-mount and UMPC form factors.
