Photos: Military-grade tablet PC launched

The V100 notebook and tablet, launched this week, comes with a magnesium alloy casing and has been designed to withstand extremes of temperature, according to its maker, Getac.

The 2.2kg laptop comes with a rotating, polarised touchscreen, 10.4-inch LCD display, which allows it to be transformed into a tablet PC. Aimed at specialist niches such as the military, the V100's display can also be altered to make it readable in bright-sunlight conditions, such as those found in the Gulf, the maker claims.
