GD Itronix GD8000 Fully Rugged Notebook MIL-STD 810F Spec Notebook

Following on from the spate of rugged notebooks and tablet PCs we've
featured of late - the Motion Computing J3400 and the Dell 2nd Gen
Latitude E6400 XFR being the latest examples - General Dynamics Itronix
have introduced their new GD Itronix GD8000 fully rugged notebook which,
according to GD Itronix not only meets but exceeds the MIL-STD 810F
military standard for extreme durability.
Capable of withstanding drops of up to 42 and also being water and dust
tight to IP64/IEC 60529 standards, as well being as capable of
withstanding 30 gallons of water impacting at speeds of 40 miles for up
to four hours and shrugging off 'helicopter-grade vibrations', the GD
Itronix GD8000 fully rugged notebook comes with a 1.86GHz Intel Core 2
Duo processor and 2074MB DRAM (expandable to 4096MB if you opt for a
64-bit enabled processor and operating system) under the hood as well as
13.3 TFT XGA sunlight readable touchscreen display, Intel GMA 4500MHD
graphics, 120GB 2.5 HDD (or optional 64MB SSD), and, naturally,
integrated GPS and Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/Draft-n) plus Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR.

The GD Itronix GD8000 fully rugged notebook, which offers a battery life
of up to a purported 10 hours, has just become available for $3,800.
