X500
Large Screen. Endless Expansion.
The X500 ultra rugged computer combines the flexibility of our best-selling B300 with the customization and I/O expansion features of our A790 and the battlefield command size screen of the M230 to create the most powerful ultra-rugged notebook we've ever made.
Larger High-Definition Display
The X500 features a massive 15.6 inch Full HD 1080p widescreen display delivering crystal-clear high def. Configure yours with the NVIDIA® GeForce® 745M discrete graphics with 2GB of dedicated memory and you will get faster speeds (frames per second) with incredible responsiveness.
Sunlight-Readable Display
Available on every X500 is the advanced QuadraClear® display. Getac's QuadraClear® solution combines proprietary technologies for both screen brightness and anti-reflectivity to reduce the sunlight's reflectivity and provides a more effective contrast rate than other displays, while still maintaining the battery life you need in the field. The QuadraClear® display is powered by LEDs that provide an energy efficient display that is mercury-free, durable and consistent in brightness over time.
Next Generation Processors
With a state-of-the-art 2.9 GHz Intel® Core® i7 dual core processing technology, the X500 is the most powerful fully rugged notebook on the market today. The dual-core processor is ideally suited to handle the multi-tasking necessary in todays complex work environments.
Turbo Boost
When you run a processor-intensive application on the X500, the processor frequency in the active cores will dynamically increase up to 3.6GHz, providing the performance increase necessary for a timely response to mission critical information.
Hyper-Threading
Every Getac X500 includes Hyper-Threading allowing you to run demanding applications simultaneously while maintaining system responsiveness. With Hyper-Threading, the X500 keeps the system more secure, efficient, and manageable while minimizing impact on productivity
Add Full PCI or PCIe Cards
The X500 offers an expansion chassis that truly distinguishes itself from other rugged notebooks. With two slots for either PCI or PCI Express, the X500 with expansion chassis combines the expandability of a desktop computer with the portability of a rugged notebook.
RAID Storage
The X500 can be configured with dual 500GB drives with RAID 0 or RAID 1 with Windows Server 2012 providing either maximum capacity and performance or mirror drives for maximum protection, depending on your needs. For a full rugged server with up to 5TB of storage and dedicated RAID card supporting RAID 0, 1 & 5 - visit the X500 Server page.
Easy Access to Protected Connections and Ports
With two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 ports, a USB 2.0/eSATA combo port, two serial ports, dual Ethernet ports and a VGA port among others, the X500 has plenty of ports to connect the peripherals that you use.
Built to Survive™
Only Getac manufactures rugged computers down to the chassis. Built from high quality magnesium alloy, the X500 features four main casings specifically engineered to protect the computer against drops, shocks, spills, vibration and more. The sealed design of the X500 protects it against dust and moisture. The X500 has been independently tested and certified to MIL-STD-810G, IP65 and MIL-STD-461F standards.
