In today’s hybrid working environment, where workers often operate remotely with no on-site technical support, and where they also carry their laptop between different workspaces, quality and reliability become even more critical to business efficiency.
When you buy a Dynabook computer you are buying cutting edge design, engineering and manufacturing. Dynabook computers are also among the most exhaustively-tested PCs on the market today. Before our laptops are released into the marketplace, they are tested for every possible usage scenario to ensure quality and reliability.
That’s why our average hardware failure rate per month is just 0.13%. (average monthly rate between Jan 2022 and Nov 2022, based on in warranty products in EMEA)
We test our complete range of laptops using our own HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) methodology, which simulates three years of use. Only those that pass these rigorous tests are released to the market.

All Portégé and Tecra laptops are tested to US Military standards. The MIL-STD 810 test methodology defines a number of environmental tests which indicate how well a particular piece of equipment performs in the field. Each test is associated with a source of environment stress, such as vibration, moisture, dust, extreme temperatures, or humidity.

Operation: 43°C for 8 hrs
Devices are dropped 26 times on each face, edge and corner
Devices are blasted with sand and dust for 6 hours
Devices are tested for operations at 15,000 feet
Storage: -25°C for 24 hrs
Operation: -21°C for 8 hrs
60°C to -20°C over 3 cycles of 2h duration
