G-NET Industrial Panel PC: An Up Close Look

By Alexis • Oct 28th, 2008 • Category: Laptops

G-NET has recently introduced two new tablets, the Rugged Tablet PC and the Industrial Panel PC. The latter one is a 10.4 inch semi-rugged industrial panel PC which has been designed for light industrial, medical, kiosk and vehicle mount applications. This one is super fast and is packed with a fast processor, large capacity hard drive, sunlight readable touch screen, and plenty of other features that make you feel excited. The previously industrial computer manufacturer has apparently decided to branch into the consumer market by unveiling its own challengers to the extra popular netbook class, which includes such models as the Eee PC or Acer Aspire One. Shawn Gusz, CEO of G-NET Inc. says, “The second product we are really excited about is our new 10.4″ Industrial Panel PC. This system was built with affordability in mind. The unit features a fully enclosed metal chassis, a 1.5 GHz CPU, 512mb of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. As with most of our products the display is also a sunlight readable high brightness touch screen which is almost always required for vehicle mount and industrial applications. “We really believe in these new products and we will continue to innovate and develop new solutions in order to further position ourselves as a leading provider of industrial and vehicle mount computers.”
