The GETAC V100 is a notebook and a tablet PC convertible that provides reliability, functionality and computing power in a compact outdoor ready package. Its dimension of 11.2 x 8.7 inches is even smaller than your average pad of paper. Even with its overflowing ruggedness, it’s less than two inches thick and weighs less than five pounds – including batteries. An Intel CoreTM i7-640UM 1.2 GHz CPU with Turbo Boost Technology up to 2.26GHz and 4MB L3 Intel Smart Cache combines neck breaking speeds with long battery life. Any customers can select from a large variety of wireless and storage options and several display technologies.
