Robustness Testing

  • XO Test Plan

  • Free Drop Test Results
  • Package Drop Test Results
  • Vibration Test Results
  • Cold Temperature Cycling Results
  • Heat: certified to 45C, 50C pending.
  • Plastic UV exposure test results
  • UV exposure on screen (good to half a million hours in simulated sun)
  • Battery Test Data
  • Ears: easy connect, insert molded ears
  • Rubber feet: grip even on slanted desks when they are bumped
  • electrolytic caps: have short lifetime in heat, our low power laptop doesn't need these type of capacitors (every other laptop on the market uses them)
  • Dust/Water Incursion: in process of testing for IP 42, IP 53 (Ingress Protocol). rubber sealed keyboard and touchpad base.
  • Scratch resistance: texture on the laptop makes it's scratch resistant
  • wide voltage input to laptop: 11 volts to 18 volts
  • AC adapter:
    • 90v(-10%) ~ 240v(+25%), 35-60Hz, AC input
    • Safety: IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1 & CSA/UL 60950-1 qualified (in process)
    • Extra Transient and Burst Immunity: IEC 61000-4-4 passed
    • Extra Surge Immunity: IEC 61000-4-5 passed
  • extra screws: underneath the handlebar, can be used for repair when a screw is misplaced.
