A waterproof laptop is a ruggedized portable computer with a verified IP (Ingress Protection) rating of IP65 or higher, as defined by the IEC 60529 standard, and sealed against dust and water. True waterproof laptops are built for field, industrial, military, and emergency services environments. Consumer laptops are not waterproof. The leading verified models come from Panasonic Toughbook and Getac.

Rugged laptops for emergency services are mobile computers built to MIL-STD-810H and IP65 standards, so they keep working through drops, vibration, temperature extremes, water, and dust. They are the standard field platform for US police, fire, EMS, and search-and-rescue agencies that need reliable access to dispatch, mapping, and patient records.
