"Building on NEC’s rugged notebook and netbook line, the ShieldPRO N22A is designed to meet the demands of the mobile workforce, particularly in the military and industrial sectors,” said David Cooke, group manager, NEC Network and Service Infrastructure.

“This notebook is designed to stand up to the rigours of modern life," he added.

The ShieldPRO has a Dual Core CPU, 12 hours of battery life, an LED-backlit 12.1 inch LCD with 750cd/m and a market best environmental protection IP rating of IP-55.

It comes in a range of colours including maroon and navy and three year warranty.
