DRS intros rugged ARMOR C12 convertible, X10 tablet PC
Just in case Dell's Latitude XFR D630 was too mainstream for you, DRS Tactical Systems has a pair of equally tough rigs for you to chew on. Up first is the ARMOR C12 convertible (shown above), which packs a 12.1-inch outdoor readable touchscreen, 1.2GHz ULV U1400 CPU, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, a 60GB shock-mounted HDD, full-sized keyboard, integrated WiFi, Ethernet, PCMCIA, a biometric scanner and a die-cast magnesium case built to pass MIL-STD-810F / IP54 standards. As for the ARMOR X10 tablet (pictured after the jump), you'll find a 1.2GHz U2500 Core Duo processor, an optional 16GB SSD, 10.4-inch sunlight readable display, Bluetooth and many of the same highlights seen on the aforementioned C12. No word on a price for either at the moment, but trust us, you'll pay a pretty penny for a machine that just begs for pain. [Warning: PDF read link]

It sure begs for pain all right... I've never seen an uglier machine not produced in the early 90s.

My company has the progenitor of this product and I would avoid it at all costs. Sounds great on paper but definitely far from rugged.

Right. 'Shock mounted' hard drive at 60 gigs. Kind of inexcusable not to have an SSD in this day in age, especially at only 60 gigs...
