GammaTech has rolled out its latest fully rugged convertible computer, the Durabook R13C, which is an upgraded version of the R13S. This new version passes Military Standard 810G certification for drop, shock and spill protection, plus explosive atmosphere, salt, fog and freeze/thaw standards, so if you’re able to find a way to break it – you probably shouldn’t be there! While it is designed for law enforcement, military and mobile workers, the convertible laptop to tablet PC is also ideal for anyone who takes part in truly globetrotting adventures.
Other rugged features of the R13C include an IP65 rating for dust and water protection of the enclosed portions, water-resistant backlit keyboard and a truly sturdy magnesium alloy case. And while the average user may never need it, this one offers security features worthy of an action movie with fingerprint scanner, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 and Kensington lock.
The computer features a pivot hinge to transform from tablet PC to tablet, while the HDD can be removed quickly should the need arise.
The computer is powered by an Intel Core Low Power i7-620LM vProcessor, includes 8GB of system memory, a shock-mounted 2.5-inch SATA hard drive with quick removal feature, an ultra slim super-multi DVD drive, RS-232 serial port, two USB ports, SIM card connector and SD card reader. With this you can be off the beaten path and still get connected anywhere, anytime as it offers WWAN (3G), WLAN, and Bluetooth 2.1 + enhanced data rate, as well as a built-in GPS receiver.
So while this won’t double as a gaming computer to play Call of Duty or Battlefield 3, it is one that could be used in real life adventures instead!
