Averatec’s Voya Series of notebooks don’t take things lying down, as both the Voya 4473 (14.1? display) and the Voya 6494 (15.4? widescreen display) will share a magnesium alloy outer case, corner bumpers, and an anti-shock mounted hard drive to go up against everyday knocks and bumps. Prices start from $1,299 upwards, depending on the configuration. You will plus get the following specifications with each purchase :-

• Semi-Rugged 15.4? WXGA widescreen notebook supporting 1280×800 resolution
• Drop and vibration resistant internal components
• Spill resistant keyboard and touchpad
• Intel
  Core 2 Duo Processor
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• 2GB DDR2 RAM
• 250GB SATA HDD
• 802.11a/b/g WLAN
• Intel X3100 Graphic Media Accelerator
• Built-in SuperMulti dual layer DVD Burner
• 4-in-1 Media Card Reader
• PCI Express Card Slot

I must say it is priced rather decently, giving butterfingers some breathing space whenever their clumsiness strikes when carrying a notebook.
