The unit comes with a full high-definition (FHD) 15.6" LCD display (1920 x 1080 resolution) for graphic-intense situations, as it offers incredible image detail and crisp reproduction.
The S15C2 notebook is built to GammaTech's renowned tough standards. Its magnesium alloy case is 20 times stronger than ABS plastic, and is tested to Mil-Standard 810G for drop and shock resistance. A flexible HDD cable design absorbs shock from drops, while anti-shock mounting technology around the LCD helps protect the screen from accidental damage.
Additional protection is provided by the unit's unique spill-resistant design that protects the LCD, keyboard and touchpad from spills seeping into sensitive interior parts. GammaTech's exclusive optical-disk-tray lock prevents unintentional tray ejection due to drop and vibration.
Double-protection smart-battery circuitry prevents damage caused by current or voltage surges and overheating. The new model comes with a 9-cell battery for users in need of longer-holding charge times.
