Rugged and durable Tablet PC by Trimble called the Yuma
By Jenny • Feb 24th, 2009 • Category: LaptopsTrimble has released its new laptop called Yuma. It’s a fully rugged laptop designed to assist the users (especially military personnel) during camping or other outdoor activities. It can endure extreme weather and atmospheric conditions and is supposed to be a highly durable and reliable device.
The Yuma packs cutting edge hardware with all the latest mobile computing features. It makes sure that you always stay connected no matter where you are. You can take the unit at high altitudes with aplomb. It runs on Windows Vista Business Edition OS and features a seven inch sunlight readable WVGA touchscreen display. Apart from this the device also offers advanced connectivity options including USB 2.0, WiFi, GPS Bluetooth etc. Yuma’s processing core has got a 1.6 GHz processor and the storage chamber is occupied by 32GB SSD. The best feature of Yuma is the absence of any moving parts and thus the device can be used in extreme cool and hot environments. Most regular laptops, like the Sony Vaio VGN-FW31ZJ, would easily succumb to drops from high places and extreme temperatures, but not the Yuma. It actually manages to meet stringent MIL-STD-810F military standards for drops, vibration and humidity.
Shawn Curtis, marketing manager for Trimble’s Mobile Computing Solutions Division says, “Connectivity in the field is vital for mobile workers. Today, they demand integrated solutions that are reliable and easy-to-use, so they can be more efficient and avoid the need to transcribe information once they return to the office. With the Yuma tablet, Trimble delivers just that. Now, workers can carry their office wherever they work. Its dynamic mix of ergonomic design, ruggedness and computing speed comes at a cost of ownership that’s very attractive in the tablet computer market today.”
