DRS ARMOR X10gx Tablet: 10th Generation Ultra-Rugged Tablet Computer

By Conrad H. Blickenstorfer

Let me begin by saying that this machine has unbelievable pedigree. If you've seen those Mercedes Benz commercials that show how the latest, greatest supercar Benz has a direct lineage to an old Mercedes Benz 180 sedan from the mid-1950s, it's the same for the rugged DRS ARMOR X10gx tablet. At the very dawn of tablet computing in the late 1980s, there was a company named Tusk that made the highly acclaimed "All Terrain Supertablet." One of the Tusk co-founders and a group of engineers then went on to found WalkAbout, and made a rugged tablet computer that was so good it really didn't need much change at all, other than the occasional tech update. WalkAbout then became part of DRS Technologies and is now DRS Tactical. About three years ago, DRS Tactical announced ARMOR, a line of rugged mobile computers with an emphasis on data protection technology, anywhere connectivity and sunlight readable display options for industrial and government customers. And the machine featured here represents the latest and greatest in ARMOR tablet technology.
