It seems PC Computing ran stress tests (impact, temperature...) on a bunch of notebook computers and DEC's HiNote was the only one to survive, and survive unscratched.
I caught the last minutes of a report on the news tonite.
I did not catch the other brands, but some minor impacts caused damage or malfunction. When they were dropped from 'table height' it got worse.
The spokeswoman noted that the Digital HiNote not only worked, but [she seemed a bit amazed amd amused] the DEC machine didn't even sustain a scratch.

There was no posting, as yet that I saw, on the Ziff Davis site.
If DEC builds it, and CPQ sells it, maybe DEC could turn a profit on it's PC business.

I'll camp out on the newsstand to buy this one.
