DRS Tactical Systems has announced a new line of fully-rugged mobile computers – the ARMOR C12 Convertible Notebook and the ARMOR X10 Tablet PC.

The ARMOR PCs meet MIL-STD-810F military standards for durability and operation in extreme conditions.

The C12 Convertible Notebook features a rugged, die-cast magnesium alloy case. It has been extensively tested for drop-shock, moisture, temperature extremes, and resistance to dust and vibration. The C12 has a 12.1-inch outdoor-viewable touch-screen display with a resolution of 1024×768 pixels, and a full-size keyboard. The convertible laptop is powered by the Intel Core Solo U1400 ultra-low voltage processor at 1.2GHz, and sports a 60GB or 32GB solid state drive. The system weighs 5.2 pounds and provides 4 to 6 hours of battery life.

The ARMOR X10 Tablet PC features a specially designed aluminum DuraCase chassis with ShutOut sealing technology for even greater protection from dust, dirt, water and temperature extremes. Its 10.4-inch 1024×768 display uses backlight technology for enhanced indoor and outdoor viewability, and is available in both touch screen and passive pen versions. The Tablet PC includes the Intel Core Duo U2500 ULV processor at 1.2GHz, and 80GB HDD, 8GB SSD, and 16GB SSD options. It weighs 5.3 pounds and has a 4-hour battery life.

The both computers have 512MB of system memory, expandable to 2GB, 802.11a/b/g wireless connectivity, and a PCMCIA card slot. However, they do not feature an optical drive.

The C12 and X10 run Windows XP Tablet PC edition.
