So soldiers also need a computer to carry around in the battlefield to keep them connected with the loved ones over the Internet (provided there is any 3G or free WiFi available)? GE Fanuc’s Computer Dynamics subsidiary has produced a really rugged computer, which is called Ruffneck PC that is ready to go to the battlefield, as it’s explosion-proof. The unit is also highly tolerable to extreme temperature, which it’s got a thermally managed body that can work at temperature as low as -40 and as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The specs at a glance are it comes with LCD that can be used with gloves on, a 1.6GHz Pentium M, 2GB of RAM and a 40GB disk (with a CompactFlash-based SSD option for even more toughness). There is no word on price yet.
