While it seems like we have a rugged notebook to announce every week, this week we’ve got something to mix it up a bit, in the form of a tablet instead. General Dynamics Itronix has just announced a new tablet that’s designed to take a beating. Called the GD3015, it’s built to let you complete all your computing tasks in hazardous or tough environments.While the tablet weights less than three pounds, it doesn’t skimp on features to keep its shape – the fully featured tablet packs a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor Z530, 10.4” resistive touchscreen, sunlight viewable LCD, 2GB of DDR II RAM, 160GB HDD (or optional 64GB SSD), 2 USB 2.0 ports, GPS, 2.0 megapixel camera, a VGA port, security features such as a fingerprint reader, optional Smart Card reader and more. The tablet is also IP54 certified for dust and water resistance, MIL-STD-810F certified, and can withstand drops of up to 3’ though we hope you won’t have to find out if it really does.
Prices for the GD3015 start at $2,400 and it is available now from the GD Itronix store.
