The ultra-rugged Algiz 7 tablet PC is small, light and fast, with multiple
connectivity options and a wide range of functions, ideal for field workers demanding a
super-durable product that is tough and powerful, yet light and easy to work with. The
Algiz 7 meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military standards for withstanding humidity,
vibrations, drops and extreme temperatures, and with its IP65 rating it keeps dust and
water out as well.
The new Algiz 7, which starts shipping today, features the following improvements from
earlier versions:
- A fast and powerful N2600 1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel ATOM processor.
- More memory, with 4 GB DDR3 RAM.
- Better storage, with a 128GB SSD SATA II with recovery partition.
- Two full mPCIe slots for improved flexibility.
- Ethernet 10/100/1000 (Gigabit).
- Added data security with TPM chipset board (chip 1.2).
- An updated version of the wireless Gobi 3000 technology for higher
communications speed.
- A 5-megapixel camera.
- Antenna diversity (two antennas) for improved coverage.
"We've made significant improvements to the new Algiz 7," said Jerker Hellstrom, CEO
of Handheld Group. "Better storage, a much faster processor, improved security, a better
camera and better communications are some enhancements - and we've kept the price point
the same as for the previous version of the Algiz 7. This product should remain the tablet
of choice for anyone looking for portable, professional field performance."
The Algiz 7 weighs a mere 1.1 kilograms and has a 7-inch widescreen touch display that
features the new and unique MaxView technology, providing spectacular brightness in
outdoor conditions - even direct sunlight. It runs the state-of-the-art Microsoft Windows
7 Ultimate operating system. GPS navigation functionality is fully built in.
Like the rest of Handheld's lineup
[http://www.handheldeurope.com/regions/eu/product-overview.asp ] of rugged PDAs,
smartphones and mobile computers, the Algiz 7 is specifically developed for use in tough
environments in industries such as mining, geomatics, logistics, forestry, public
transportation, construction, utilities, maintenance, military and security.
The new Algiz 7 is available for orders and shipping immediately. The price point
remains unchanged.
