Here are some highlights from the review.

GammaTech Durabook S15C highlights:

• Very solid and well-made
• Very good performance with Intel Core i5 processor (i3/i5/i7 available)
• Bright display with good outdoor viewability and modern 16:9 1366 x 768 pixel wide format
• 1920 x 1080 display option
• Excellent keyboard and touch pad
• Very solid magnesium-alloy chassis and very clean construction
• Low starting price, and even well-equipped a good deal
• Spill-resistant design
• GammaTech does built to order (BTO)

But keep in mind:

• Narrow vertical viewing angle
• Small standard battery
• No HDMI port
• Limited ruggedness (2.5 foot drop)
• No operating temperature range listed
• Fan a bit noisy and comes on often (adjustable in BIOS setup)
• Adding options can quickly double the cost
