Getac Upgrades Its Popular V100 Convertible PC
For some folks an ordinary notebook computer simply isn’t an option: they work out in the boonies, in dangerous workplaces or environments, or regularly traipse off into hard environments where conventional notebook computers would wither and die. The new version is still protected by a magnesium alloy casing, shock-mounted hard drive, sealed I/O ports, and meets MIL-STD-810G and IP65 specs but it also sports an Intel Core i7 processor, giving it a 47 percent performance boost over its predecessor. Tests show the new V100 clocks in at up to 47% faster than its predecessor by combining Turbo Boost Technology for processor-intensive applications and a 4MB Intel Smart Cache, readily available to each of the processor cores, to ensure maximum performance whenever and wherever it’s needed. For field workers who find themselves in dangerous and extreme environmental conditions, system speed and performance is a critical and mandatory feature and the V100 convertible now offers the fastest in its class.
Weighing in at just 1.36KG, the compact E100 is one of the lightest Rugged tablet PC’s on the market. Safely nestled in its rugged magnesium alloy case are some of the most advanced technologies essential to providing maximum productivity, security, and connectivity in the field. Getac E100A meets MIL-STD-810G and IP65 standards for durability and protection against dirt, dust, water, motion, vibration, temperature and other factors that could severely damage or disable a commercial grade PC. In addition, its standard solid state drive further protect files and documents from vibrations, accidental drops, and other physical abuse typically encountered in the field and is ideal for extreme temperature environments.
Like other convertible tablet designs, the V100 has a screen that pivots and folds down over its keyboard. On this design, however, the hinge appears to be extra-robust, and Getac touts a variety of available screen technologies for the device’s 1024-by-768-pixel, 10.4-inch touchscreen.
For example, according to the company, there’s both a 500-nit sunlight-readable version, plus a 1200-nit version that, we’d guess, would have to be called “extra-sunlight-readable.” The system is offered with a multi-touch screen (resistive, we presume) which, it’s said, can be operated even while wearing gloves. Alternatively, an available dual-mode screen combines the standard touchscreen with an active digitizer, adds Getac.
The Getac E100A gets a significant speed bump with its new 1.6GHz processor that offers up to 5 hours of battery life. The rugged UMPC also includes an RS-232 Serial port, two USB ports, option for dual smart card readers for special applications and requirements, embedded microphone, 802.11a/g/n wireless LAN, GPS, Gigabit LAN and Bluetooth 2.0 as standard features with optional 3G Network connectivity for those who require connectivity in the field.
