Toshiba’s Notebook
testing process -
just like real life,
only tougher.
Each new Notebook design is subjected
to an assault course of tests to make sure
it can handle the rough-and tumble of life
in the office and on the road.
Hinge Durability Test
This device opens and closes the
Notebook’s lid thousands of time to
simulate several lifetime’s heavy use.
Palm Rest Pressure Test
This device applies two 25kg loads to
the area of the palm-rest to simulate a
heavy user pushing down on the unit
to stand up.
LCD Cover Point-Pressure Test
A 30mm rod on the end of a hydraulic
ram applies 25kg of pressure to the
screen cover to simulate conditions in
an over-packed carrybag.
Vibration Test
Will the hard disk drive survive working
on a surface that’s vibrating 500 times a
second (like a helicopter flight deck or
an idling taxi stuck in traffic)? This test
finds out.
Drop and Impact Test
In this test, Notebooks are dropped
from 30cm. and from 1m. to simulate
falls from bags and desks. This is then
repeated for all six sides to cover all
the angles.
Keyboard Pressure and
Durability Tests
Each key is pounded millions of times
to simulate the impact of a heavy-
handed typist over a lifetime’s work.
