The Getac E100 Ultra Portable Rugged Tablet PC

Weighing in at 3 pounds-making it the lightest rugged tablet PC on the market, the versatile, easy-to-maneuver Getac E100 Ultra Portable Rugged Tablet PC is designed with field and customer service applications in mind. Despite its trim look and feel, the GETAC E100 rugged tablet is every bit as tough as the heavyweights: It meets MIL-STD-810G and IP65 standards for durability and protection against dirt, dust, water, motion, vibration, temperature and other factors that would severely damage or disable a commercial-grade PC.

The Getac E100 tablet PC offers workers in the field an 8.4-inch TFT SVGA transmissive display with integrated touch screen panel. The Getac E100 also features an Ultra-Bright sunlight-readable display and 800 Nit backlit LCD screen that delivers astonishing readability. GETAC also reserves an array of expandable "mission boxes" designed for customized market applications that use RFID, barcode and magnetic strip readers or digital cameras.
