Getac X600 and X600 Pro rugged mobile workstations

Getac has announced its X600 and X600 Pro, two powerful 15.6″ fully rugged mobile workstations for professionals needing optimal performance when conducting complex operations in the field. Built to withstand physical impacts, harsh temperatures, moisture and dust, rugged features include IP66-rated ingress protection, MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G and optional CID2 (ANSI/UL 12.12.91) certification, vibration and 1.2 m drop resistance, with optional salt-fog resistance.

The X600 runs Windows 11 Pro and features an 11th gen Intel Core H-series processor (i5/i7/i9) with integrated Intel UHD graphics. The result is high performance in a diverse range of data- and/or graphically-intensive operational scenarios, such as defence command and control, railway track inspection, and oil and gas sensor analysis. An optional NVIDIA Quadro RTX3000 discrete graphics controller can elevate the graphical performance, while capacity for up 128 GB of memory enables ultrafast processing speeds. The product also offers expandability, supporting three PCIe SSDs for up to 6 TB internal storage.

The X600 Pro features dual hot-swappable batteries, alongside capacity for two additional media bay batteries, which together deliver more than 240 Wh in a single device. It also includes PCMCIA and Express card slots and DVD super drive/optional Blu-ray drive support, for greater capability in and out of the field.

The devices feature connectivity options including dual 2.5GBASE-T Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth v5.2, optional dedicated GPS and optional 4G LTE with integrated GPS. They include multiple I/O interfaces, such as Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and serial port. Physical and data security features include self-encrypting drives, smart card reader, TPM 2.0, Intel vPro technology, optional Windows Hello face authentication and optional fingerprint reader. A built-in Kensington lock slot can be used to protect the device against theft.

The unit has a large FHD display with optional capacitive 10-point touch, meaning it can be operated when cold, wet or wearing gloves. LumiBond screen technology delivers good colour, contrast and brightness (1000 nits), making it easily readable. The product has a compact form factor and weighs less than 5 kg, with legacy device support.
