Laptop Computer Made for the Road
Are you in search of a mobile computer that can hold its own on the road? Itronix proudly claims that its GoBook is the world's fastest notebook PC for field-based mobile workforces. It's designed for rugged indoor and outdoor use--and they mean rugged: It reportedly sustains extremes for water (rainstorms), shock, drop and temperature better than any competing notebook. Even better, that rough façade is all in the name of protecting its remarkable interior, which combines PC technology (it supports Windows 98, 2000 and NT operating systems) and wireless capabilities.

The Itronix GoBook also features a Bluetooth-ready architecture. The company says that the GoBook is the first notebook computer in its category to be shipped Bluetooth-ready. This is a big deal for users, for whom Bluetooth could enable wireless communication with printers or other peripherals and also remotely tether them to radio handsets, avoiding onboard radio alternatives.
