GammaTech D12C Rugged Convertible Notebook Can Take A Beating

There's no shortage of tablet PCs out there these days, but most of them look just like the other. There's not a lot of variety just yet, but that should change as more and more Windows 7-based tablets hit the market in 2011. But GammaTech isn't waiting for that to happen. The company has just issued their latest machine a 12.1" rugged convertible notebook that spends half of its life as a tablet, and the other half as a notebook.

It's obviously designed for those who prefer rigidity and toughness over style. It has a 12.1" touch panel, an integrated webcam, HD stereo speakers, up to 8GB of memory and an Intel Core i5-540UM processor. It's called the D12C, and it's drop and shock resistant and tested to stringent MIL-STD-810G requirements. Also, its unique spill resistant design protects it from accidental spills, as its spill resistant C-face includes the area around the keyboard, touchpad, speakers and wireless and power switches. All input/output ports are fully dust resistant.

There's also Wi-Fi, an optional smart card reader and optional Bluetooth. As with the rest of the GammaTech notebook product line, the D12C is available through authorized resellers nationwide, but no pricing information is given.
