This robust tablet, obviously for vertical markets, was spotted on the stage at an Intel event here at CeBIT. It’s unique, but you just know it’s going to be expensive right? 1920×1200 screen, removable battery, waterproof and running on a new Z3745 Baytrail-T 64-Bit CPU. There’s a great selection of ports too.
As with all these ‘project-only’ devices you’re not likely to this in retail and the specifications you see will be variable. RAM, OS, cellular module and even the CPU could change if you’re ordering enough of them. Note that there’s ‘pen’ input shown in the marketing material.
We’ll try and get you a closer hands-on with this tomorrow because it’s what a lot of those ‘verticals’ have been looking for.
Interesting. It’s suppose to be $1099. Much better than Panasonic FZ-M1.

The Panasonic also has a Core i5 CPU instead of Bay Trail.
4 GB or 8 GB of RAM on the FZ-M1 too.
Anyone know where a consumer can buy the FZ-M1 in single quantities in the US?
The FZ-M1 screen resolution 1200 x 800 is terrible for those money.
Why do these rugged/semi-rugged devices come in white? Is there a benefit when it cones to their target audience? I find white electronics to be cheap and ugly looking but I’m just a regular consumer. There must be a reason for the white when it to comes to industry use.
