Handheld Group, a manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, has released the latest version of its Algiz 10X rugged tablet with several new upgrades. The 10-inch tablet designed for field professionals now features the Windows 8 operating system and an Intel quad-core N2930 1.83 GHz processor with 2.16 GHz boost. Compared to the Algiz 10X’s previous processor, the N2930 more than doubles performance benchmarking, RAM support, number of cores, and performance per watt.
“By using the very latest operating system available from Microsoft, customers can now enjoy quicker startup and operation, increased software compatibility, and improved support for touchscreen-based tablets, among other benefits,” says Johan Hed, Handheld’s director of product management.
The Algiz 10X is IP65-rated and meets MIL-STD-810G military standards, which means it’s protected against dust, water, vibrations, drops, and extreme temperatures. It includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen, weighs 1.3 kilograms (2.9 pounds), and is 32 millimeters (1.2 inches) thick.
“We have dramatically increased performance levels without sacrificing operating time or mechanical design,” Hed concludes. “We have also improved our wireless communication support. Besides 802.11 b/g/n on 2.4 GHz, we now support both 802.11ac and 802.11a on 5 GHz. The upgraded Algiz 10X also supports LTE, which provides substantially faster data speeds, both up- and downstream, and increased overall network coverage.”

- Intel quad-core N2930 1.83 GHz processor
