The popularity of “Transformers” is a mystery to me, as I don’t exactly get why a robot would want to “transform” into the shape of a car or airplane. What’s wrong with being a robot? But when it comes to computers, transformers make a lot more sense.
GammaTech proves this fact with its newest mobile, rugged and convertible Durabook, the U12C. This computer is both regular laptop with a full-sized keyboard and is a tablet computer with LCD touch screen. It is ideal for on-the-go field technicians, mobile professionals, journalists who don’t work in a press room and just about anyone who needs to take their computer on the go.
“U12C is designed so it can be easily used in the most demanding professional environments,” says Jen Chen, GammaTech president. “Mobile professionals should have access to fully featured, convertible notebook computers that are rugged enough to stand up to grueling conditions. The GammaTech U12C has answered the call for dependability in mission critical situations.”
In other words the GammaTech U12C can go places where you wouldn’t think of taking that iPad. Plus it is actually easy to bring along as it includes an integrated ergonomic handle, and is drop and shock resistant as well – actually to the stringent MIL-STD-810G requirements. The U12C is also spill resistant, and this includes the touchscreen, touchpad, speakers, keyboard and wireless and power switches. All the input/output ports are fully dust resistant as well, and this rugged convertible even offers a quick release for easy removal of the hard drive.
On the spec side the U12C features an Intel i5-540UM processor and Intel HM55 chipset , with 8GB of memory, 1.3 megapixel webcam, and a 12.1-inch WXGA (1,280×800) convertible TFT and LED backlight screen that offers optional sunlight readable functionality. The GammaTech U12C is available through authorized resllers and from the company website, where it can be customized to user’s needs. It is sure to offer more than meets the eyes.
