The GoBook® XR-1 was developed with multiple input options, a first-class graphics capability, upgradeable memory, CRMA™-Express radio modules and a "no tools needed" removable shock-mounted hard drive and . Rain or shine, day or night, the GoBook® XR-1 is packed with features that make field computing as simple as possible. A NiteVue® glow-in-the-dark keyboard and TFT XGA Outdoor transmissive display (with a direct sunlight contrast ratio of 2.63:1) overcome the problems of nighttime data entry and full-sun viewing.
Meeting military specifications for ruggedization, the GoBook® XR-1 can perform in conditions that would stop an ordinary notebook computer in its tracks. Operating at -10°F to 140°F and still operate in downpouring rain of 4 inches per hour, the GoBook® XR-1 will survive rigorous conditions.
The GoBook® XR-1 is more than the world's lightest fully rugged powerful wireless mobile computer. It is proof of GD-Itronix and General Dynamics industry-leading legacy in the development, implementation and support of computing products and services for both commercial and government users.
