Averatec Voya 6494 Review - ZDNet

Averatec-Voya-6494.jpg

A review of the rugged Averatec Voya 6494 laptop has been posted over at ZDNet. 'Not to be confused with Averatec's GPS units of the same name, this Voya is a laptop and of the semirugged variety. With its rubber bumpers, the Averatec Voya 6494 bears a slight resemblance to Honda's original Element. Despite its clunky look, the Voya 6494 is relatively trim for a ruggedized 15-inch laptop. And when opened, it presents a surprisingly slick yet corporate look, with a silver-and-black screen bezel, and black keyboard and keyboard tray. It serves up security features that will certainly appeal to business users, including Smart Card and SIM card slots.

In addition to the aforementioned rubber bumpers that protect each of its corners, this semirugged laptop also features a rubber mounting system to protect the display, a magnesium alloy outer shell, a spill-resistant keyboard and touch pad, and a shock-mounted hard drive. You'll pay a premium compared with standard 15-inch laptops, but when viewed against its rugged competition, it's a deal at $1,599. A business traveler and anyone who regularly engages in abusive relationships with laptops should give the Averatec Voya 6494 a look.
