KONTRON NotePAC Fully Rugged Ultra Laptop

<p>
The IP54 and NEMA 12 rated device is said to be MIL-STD 810F and IEC 529 certified for shock and vibration tolerance. An available upgrade adds MIL-STD-461 certification for low electro-magnetic radiation output, and ATEX (atmospheric explosives) certification. It also features a modular design that enables customization of peripherals and other functions, and is optionally available with a vehicle docking station that adds a BNC video capture port, among other interfaces.<br />

    * Intel Core Duo (successor of Pentium M), is a double core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used common. The maximum current consumption of 31 Watts is only 4 W more then with Pentium M. Due to the low energy need is Core Duo also suited for subnotebooks. Further now it supports SSE3 orders. The performance can nearly be doubled for applications, which were designed for multiprocessors (compared with Pentium M). The weaker variants like T2300 and T2400 are apt for office applications and surfing.<br />

    * 12 inch: This display format can be called big subnotebook-format. The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few current, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.<br />
<br />
    * 14 inch: 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small subnotebook formats and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much current and the laptops can be kept quite compact.<br />
<br />
    * This laptop is very heavy compared with the mass of other notebooks. Nonetheless, it's normal for ruggedized laptops to be heavy, because of solid structures, armaments etc.</p>
