I'm sure a military mac could take a bullet too. If one existed. Which it doesn't. See, the PC is an open hardware spec. That means that when the military wants one, they can produce the specs, hand them out to tender, and get anyone who offers to build it for them. If they wanted a mac, on the other hand, they'd just have to wait for Apple decides to offer one.
I broke one of those toughbooks, a little too easily if you ask me. It didn't say where the laptop was on the soldiers body when it was penetrated by the bullet. In a backpack, or was he wearing it as a chest plate?Was this a personal item, or an issue item?This story doesn't say anything.
