It can be quite annoying replacing your Tablet PC for the third time in a one year period because you again banged, dropped or completely destroyed it in the field. This holds especially true for notebook users in extreme environments including police, military, field service reps, even some traveling techs. That’s where the Dell Latitude XT2 XFR Rugged Convertible Tablet comes into play.
The XT2 XFR features a 12.1 inch convertible tablet PC display that supports multi-touch use and is designed with MIL-801G requirements (military grade). The units also been compression sealed and offers rugged I/O doors to seal in your important hardware.
Further protecting your device is an IP54 level seal for the keyboard and LCD which offers dust and water protection. While the device is also relatively lightweight at only 5.4 pounds.
Throw in an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, solid state disk (SSD) support, up to 5GB RAM and a 4 cell battery that can be upgraded to 6 and 9 cell options and what you’re left with is a relatively well priced $3,599 device. Heck at that price they’ll even throw in optional hot swappable modules, which includes a GPS option for workers who may be wayyy out in the field. [SlipperyBrick]
