Truly a testament to baggage handlers. One of the sales tactics to demonstrate the durability of the luggable would be to have the vendor knock it off the table onto the floor and then show that it would boot up afterward. As I personally have repaired those machines on a component level, I can assure you that they were built like a Sherman tank.

He checked it in as luggage when he went to the airport. When he got to his destination and went to baggage pickup to clain his computer, it was in one of those plastic bins coming down the conveyor belt. The horror in his eyes when he looked in the bin and saw his luggable sitting in there... in pieces. Needless to say, he was not a happy camper. On Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 2:36 PM, Steven M.
