Meet the Indiana Jones of notebooks – the new Gammatech D12C. The D12C is made for the extreme and adventurous power user demanding only the toughest in mobile computing solution. It’s encased in a very durable but lightweight magnesium alloy that’s proven strong enough to help the D12C meet rigorous military grade certifications. It has been successfully tested to STD-810G standards for drop, shock, and spill protection and survived a list of almost impossible feats like 26 repeated 4 feet high drops to 2-inch plywood over concrete with unit off, exposure to random levels of shocks and 100 ml water spill with the unit on. All of the unit’s input and output ports are also snugly covered making it resistant to dirt, grime and dust. Even the batteries wouldn’t easily die out on you, it has a double protection smart battery circuitry that prevents damage caused by current or voltage surges and overheating. There’s also the Smart Battery Calibration that prevents the loss of battery capacity after repeated charge-discharge cycles. The Gammatech D12C is basically certified to enter the Temple of Doom and leave unscathed. Everything about the D12C is not brawn; it has the brains to back it up in the form of the new Intel i5 processor that delivers only the best in speed and data management. This new gadget is so rugged and powerful that it puts tan muscle-bound green berets reeking with after shave cream to shame.
Other features include a 12.1-inch WXGA Touch Screen TFT LED backlit display that can be swiveled and transformed into a Tablet PC configuration, hard handle, optional card reader, fingerprint scanner and Kensington lock.
Life is full of choices and that’s what the new Fujitsu LIFEBOOK T580 is all about. The new LIFEBOOK T580 features a multitude of choices for inputs that ranges from the classic keyboard, a pen, or simply your touch. And it sports not just any ordinary touch screen, but 4-finger multiple touch screen that is capable of operating and manipulating on screen objects with up to four fingers simultaneously. Using your finger motions, you can double-tap, scroll, zoom, and rotate any objects on the display.
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. The V100 is available with 10.4†XGA (1024 x 768) TFT 1200 NITs QuadraClear sunlight readable LED display with glove-friendly multi-touch technology or an optional dual-touch mode 1200 NITs QuadraClear sunlight readable LED display multi-touch and digitizer. In case you missed it, that’s 1200 NITs brightness. A regular consumer notebook is around 250 NIT and barely hits 300. That’s a notebook that you cannot only easily use outdoors but also has a screen that you can read even with the sun shining directly behind or above you.
