    No word on if these meet any Department of Defense specs although Averatec describe them as offering “military grade reliability”: our troops serving overseas often look for rugged laptops but are put off by the high prices, with the Voya 4473 starting at just $1299 (half the price of a comparable toughbook) it looks like Averatec may end up getting a lot of military business.
