Now 'Tougher' Screen Notebooks with Gorilla Glass NBT

Corning makes tough touch screen notebooks. Dell to be the first to launch notebooks with Gorilla Glass.

 

About a year ago it would have seemed unnecessary to put your fingers on a notebook screen but thanks to Microsoft’s Windows 8, the number of touch based notebooks has been increasing leaps and bounds. So in order to keep the notebook display safe from scratches, Corning Incorporated have introduced the Gorilla Glass NBT.

The Gorilla Glass NBT offers eight to ten times higher scratch resistance as compared to the regular soda-lime glass and just in case you do manage to get it scratched it protects the entire display from disintegrating. In the official product page Corning mentions that this protection will be able to withstand “accidental bumps”, this means while your laptop display survive a travel in a crowded bus it may not be able to make it out safely in case of a drop on the floor.

According to the press release, Corning have stated that this protection would cost just the users a maximum of two percent of the notebook’s retail price and if you keep in mind the huge cost of a replacing a damaged display it might seem a price worth paying. Corning being the forerunners of hardened glass protection came up with this idea when they conducted a consumer survey which showed that notebook users have four times the number of complaints about their display as compared to mobile phones. Dell Inc. has already announced that they will be including Gorilla Glass NBT protection in their notebooks from this fall and we hope that other OEMs will follow soon.
