RNB 230 Max

14"/15" Fully Rugged Notebook

We've improved upon the fully rugged workhorse RNB 230 with the all new RNB 230 Max. Powered by a dual-core Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor and equipped with either 14.1" or 15" Sunlight Readable LCD screen, the RNB 230 Max may be applied outdoors as well as indoors without being affected by direct sunlight. At the same time, you can switch from built-in WLAN to an optional 3G communication solution to maintain accessibility to network without adding any extension modules. In tough environments security always matters, and the RNB 230 has a built-in TPM 1.2 chip and SmartCard reader to protect your valuable data. The magnesium alloy case, shock-mounted hard drive, and spill-resistant keyboard and touch pad make the RNB230 Max MIL-STD-810F and IP54 compliant to withstand any mishap.
