    Marc Hernandez of General Motors Says:
    We selected Itronix to license the HUMMER brand for its rugged laptops because its mobile computers' attributes are synonymous with those associated with HUMMER vehicles: durability, high-end quality, and innovation. Now those who have an affinity for HUMMER -- whether they own the vehicle or not -- can enjoy a laptop that embodies the very characteristics that have put HUMMER in a class by itself. Without a doubt, Itronix and HUMMER are an ideal match."
