We Want to Hear from YOU!

We’ve had such a great response to our past requests for Product Reviews that we wanted to ask again. If you want to share a few thoughts about your Rugged Mobile Computer, please take a few minutes to complete our quick four-question survey so we can add your thoughts to our Product Reviews Page.

Here are a few of the reviews we have received recently...

General Dynamics-Itronix GD8000
Reviewed by John R. on May 27, 2011
"Compared to our recently retired Itronix, the GD8000 weighs noticeably less, has a larger and noticeably brighter screen, and appears to have a better radio, that connects and stays connected in some of the more metal-congested areas of our facility."

Motion F5v
Reviewed by Joy J. on June 11, 2011
"We got a fully loaded model of the F5v for our service technicians. The dual cameras (in front and back) made it easy to use skype to talk to each other, and also take pictures of the equipment we were working on. The buttons are all easily identifiable and there's no searching for the right button. The pen is secure and easy to use. The hand recognition software, though everyone complained that it would never be able to recognize THEIR handwriting, it absolutely worked for everyone and they love it. They are holding up to use very well. The screens (though hard to keep clean) are not scratching up and you can read it in full sunlight."

Getac PS535F
Reviewed by Jean A. on April 11, 2011
"I like having the unit ruggedized with the GPS receiver incorporated. The SiRF III chip has worked well for us in the past so that's great to have. The size is just right for us. The battery life is ok, but a 10-hour one would be better for our field day.

What does MIL-STD 810E or MIL-STD 810F mean?

A United States Defense Standard often called a military standard, "MIL-STD", or "MIL-SPEC", is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense.

MIL-STD 810E refers to the type of testing that the mobile computer is put through to determine its ruggedness. Rugged mobile computers will state that it is MIL-STD 810E rated or may say it is MIL-STD 810F compliant. They both mean the same level of ruggedness is applicable. MIL-STD 810F is just a revision of MIL-STD 810E and applies more to the testing process rather than the resulting rating. MIL-STD 810E and F are the highest standards for ruggedized testing for mobile computers.

All About Warranties

Three Year Warranty
Almost all of the rugged computers come standard with a 3 year warranty, while most commercial, plastic computers come standard with only a 1 year warranty. Not only does this save you a lot of money in case of a failure, but it also speaks to the quality that is built in to a rugged computer. If they were not extremely reliable, the rugged computer manufacturers could not afford to provide a 3 year warranty.

Extended and Expanded Warranties
Warranty extensions can be acquired to extend the warranty from three years to four years or five years. Also, some warranties can be upgraded to include "no-fault" warranties, on-site warranties, or 24 hour turnaround warranties. Extended warranties can also be acquired on major peripherals and docks which are not included in the computer's warranty, or are only warranteed for one year.

Trimble Nomad
Reviewed by Pat O. on October 12, 2010
"It performs excellently. The one suggestion I would make is to make the built in GPS directly configurable for older programs that do not work with the Intel GPS handler software. But it does work with older software."
