Overview

Itronix GoBook XR-1

Editors rating
Rating: 8.0
Verdict

Itronix's GoBook XR-1 is designed to handle extremes of temperature, dust and humidity, and should survive being dropped and otherwise physically abused. It's as functional as any regular portable, but you'll have to pay a premium for that ruggedness.

Typical price

£ 2168
