HP Notebook Can Apparently Shield Soldiers From Enemy Fire

By Chris Morran on June 24, 2011 5:00 PM 0 views

We get a lot of complaints from readers about their HP computers and the company's customer service. But one person who won't be complaining is the U.S. soldier whose HP notebook took six bullets intended for him.

The soldier who sent these images to HP was stationed in Afghanistan when he came under enemy fire. Two bullets hit his shoulder but the other six bullets that hit him were stopped by the notebook in his backpack.

HP sent the soldier a new one and, at his request, let him keep the one pictured here.

From a reliable source I heard that the attack was actually not on the soldier but on the HP laptop for being a HP product..

Not only that but HP laptop chargers/batteries can keep an entire house of 4 warm throughout winter.

Or at least, for the half hour until the laptop runs out of battery.

It can protect me from bullets, but can it protect me from trains?

You are giving it too much credit, it would crash before the battery runs out.

Even better than HP, I'd say: all the bloatware they put into them sould be able to stop even grenades.
