GammaTech Reveals the Durabook R13C Rugged Convertible Laptop

Cristian_25H · Dec 15, 2011, 07:59 AM

GammaTech Computer has just announced the Durabook R13C, its newest, fully rugged, convertible notebook which has managed to pass the Military Standard 810G certification for drop, shock, and spill protection, plus explosive atmosphere, salt, fog, and freeze/thaw standards.

This rough and touch machine makes use of a magnesium alloy casing that's 20 times stronger than ABS plastic, and features a water-resistant backlit keyboard, a 13.3-inch (1000 NIT) multi-touch display, a Core i7-620LM processor, up to 8GB of RAM, a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive (which can be quickly swapped for an SSD), an ultra-slim DVD drive, an SD card slot, GPS, and connectivity options like WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, and 3G.

The Durabook R13C also has a Smart Card reader, a fingerprint scanner, a built-in handle, and comes with a stylus. Unfortunately, GammaTech did not reveal the notebook's pricing or its availability date.
