Abstract
A portable office having a shock resistant case within which to carry a computer workstation that includes a personal computer and one or more computer peripherals. In an as-packaged configuration, the computer workstation is detachably connected to a flat table surface that extends across the carrying case. In a detached configuration, the computer workstation is lifted off the table surface and separated from the carrying case to be transported to a remote worksite outside the confines to the carrying case. A shock isolation system suspends the computer workstation above the carrying case and absorbs potentially damaging impact forces and vibrations that are created when the carrying case is subjected to physical forces during the transit. The shock isolation system also permits the computer workstation to be operated from a moving motor vehicle.
