General Dynamics Itronix Offers New Vehicle-Rugged Notebook

The new GD6000 vehicle-rugged notebook by General Dynamics Itronix is now available for field technicians and others whose offices are in trucks, utility vans or other vehicles. Designed to work on the road, GD6000 notebooks combine high-performance computing with secure, wireless-network connectivity at a price that balances durability and affordability.

Based on the General Dynamics Itronix GoBook(R) VR-2, new GD6000 notebooks will soon be in the hands of field-service technicians working for CPS Energy in San Antonio, Texas.

"It offered excellent display 'viewability' in direct sunlight and exceeded our requirements for computing performance so we can manage work orders in the field.
