The new Z710, which Getac is inviting existing and potential customers to trial, is built to withstand the toughest environments."
"Getac's redesigned S410 could be a formidable outdoor device configured to the hilt, but the entry-level version fails to impressive on account of its low-resolution washed out display and lacklustre power."
A tablet built for extreme scenarios, if you need a rugged tablet, Getac's slate should definitely be on your shopping list.
Maximum PC: Pardon the crude visual, but we have a hunch Getac's X500 Rugged Server carries around a spare Ultrabook in its bag just in case the restroom runs out of toilet paper. Technically it's a mobile system in that it resembles a laptop form factor, but it's a also a beastly looking rig. Of course it's not intended for mere mortals who spend the day looking over expense reports, but we'd still love to whip one of these out at a board meeting and let it crash down on the table with a thud.
