Standard laptops and semi-rugged laptops may be a great choice for people that do not need much protection, but these laptops will not hold up for long periods of time when they are exposed to harsh environments. This is the reason why the Getac A790 was developed. Not many laptops on the market can also be used as a military computer like the Getac A790. This laptop is one of the most rugged notebooks available to professionals that spend ample time in harsh environments. It was developed to meet and surpass military specifications, and passes the MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461E testing with ease. These standards ensure that the Getac A790 will withstand impacts, vibration, drops, temperature fluctuations, and electromagnetic interference. This specific model also holds up to IP54 standards, which just shows it's rugged ability. The magnesium case surrounding the laptop is completely sealed to prevent the internal components from corroding. No water, dirt, dust, salt, or other contaminants will enter the enclosed components. This specific laptop has even been tested in the field to ensure reliability and excellent performance under the most extreme conditions. The A790 was field tested, and now holds a 0°C to -20°C functionality. This fully-rugged notebook can withstand freezing temperatures without sacrificing performance!
One of the ways in which Getac has improved their rugged laptops performance is to include the latest technology into their durable machines. The Getac A790 includes the newest Intel 1.66 GHz Intel Core LV processor which operates more efficiently and emits low levels of heat. This means that the battery will last much longer than previous models.
