GammaTech introduces Durabook S15C rugged notebook



GammaTech has been known to be one of the more famous names in the rugged device market, and this time around they do not disappoint with the Durabook S15C notebook that delivers portability as well as features which are seldom found in notebooks in its class, that is, designed for rugged environments.

According to Jen Chen, GammaTech President, “Just because an individual works away from an office and uses their notebook computer in a harsh environment is no reason for he or she not to enjoy the benefits of a notebook computer with a brilliant screen and powerful graphics. Our new rugged S15C has a very generous 15.6” display with high-definition resolution and its many other terrific features make the S15C the perfect choice for such users.”

Let us read more about the GammaTech Durabook S15C in the extended post.

The S15C notebook was specially engineered and designed to GammaTech’s renowned tough standards, boasting a magnesium alloy case which is 20 times stronger than ABS plastic, and has undergone rigorous testing to Mil- Standard 810G for drop and shock resistance. As for the safety of your data inside, fret not – a flexible hard drive cable design will absorb shock from drops, delivering protection for your important data while anti-shock mounting technology that is located around the LCD will prevent your display from experiencing accidental damage.

There will also be additional protection afforded by the unit’s unique spill-resistant design, so you can go ahead and pour water all over the keyboard whenever you are stressed, nothing inside will get fried. Not only that, the touchpad and switches are also protected from spills as it won’t seep into sensitive interior parts. With GammaTech’s exclusive optical-disk-tray lock, there is also unintentional tray ejection due to drop and vibration.

The inclusion of double protection smart battery circuitry makes sure that any damage caused by current or voltage surges and overheating will be prevented – after all, this is an essential piece of concern for on-the-road users who require extra power protection.

How does it fare in terms of performance though? With a choice of Intel i7 and i5 processors rocking to the Intel HM55 chipset, you certainly won’t be stuck with a performance slouch, and its dual-channel DDR III SODIMM slots also deliver up to 8GB of memory. With an internal optical drive slot, you can opt between a DVD super-multi drive or Blu-Ray Disk combo drive.

Wi-Fi Connected Power Strip

Image
If you are like me, you have “that desk” in your house that is sort of the hub for digital information. On the desk is a laptop or desktop computer, and all kinds of accessories. Chances are, all of these devices are plugged in to a power strip, and they are a source of great power consumption on your monthly electric bill. This power strip by Japan-based Ubiquitous is the iRemoTap, and it has a built-in Wi-Fi module. The purpose of the Wi-Fi is so it can send information to connected devices in the household. The iRemoTap can automatically send out some sort of message like an email or tweet so you know how much energy that you are consuming. In fact, you can program this thing for a preset level, so you can make energy goals and hopefully keep them. I guess you will have to know what levels your devices have, of course. I don’t really know that off the top of my head. So is this the wave of the future? All of us knowing how much power we consume and making

Change your bike’s gears, with your mind

Image
Lately, I have been teaching my son to ride a bicycle, and it reminds me of my days of awkward bike riding. I remember that I had a hard time with changing the gears, but what if I could do it with my mind? Parlee Cycles is apparently working on a concept bicycle made of carbon fiber that does just that. It is part of Toyota Prius Projects, and it uses a helmet equipped with neurotransmitters to read a wearer’s brainwaves. A wireless transmitter attached to the bike’s seat post gets the signal, and changes the gear. As you might of guessed, this is still a concept. In fact, the developer hasn’t quite got the brain control working and still using a smartphone for the controls. I have heard of neuro-controls being used before, but I am guessing the technology isn’t quite as good as Bluetooth. Still, I am wondering if putting a brain control on a bike’s gears is putting too much technology where it doesn’t belong. If we are going to electronically make a way for a

iMM514 ArtStation Pro

Image
I’ve seen some products from iLuv before, and the iMM514 ArtStation Pro is good for turning an iPad into a home theater. As you can see, the iPad is mounted in an articulated swiveling arm so you can position it at whatever angle you want, in landscape or portrait mode. In case you are wondering why there is such a big base, it is because it has a huge stereo speaker. In other words, this base has bass. There is also a wireless remote for volume and skipping tracks, and it looks like there are some controls on the base for when you lose the remote. As I mentioned before, iLuv has put out a lot of Apple accessories, and I will have to admit that this is one of the most unusual that I have seen. In fact, I am not even sure what kind of aesthetic that this is. The arm thing reminds me of Technic Lego pieces. I suppose the case is like a big Lego brick without and studs on it. Nice. By the way, this isn’t just for the iPad. The iMM514 ArtStation Pro is compatible
