F . A . Qs

Q. What is a "Lunchbox Portable" ?

ANS. A "lunchbox portable PC" is a specialized mobile PC that is a hybrid between a notebook computer and a desktop. It typically consists of a compact plastic shell that includes an LCD panel, and a detachable keyboard that snaps on to the front of the panel. The shell resembles a "lunchbox" - hence the name.

The "lunchbox chassis" offers plenty of expansion room and can pack a lot of power into a small space. So we can offer a  Dual Athlon MP 2000+ or Dual Pentium III 1.2 GHz system with 4 GB of RAM, 160 GB ATA/133 IDE Hard Drive and/or a 181 GB SCSI Ultra160 hard drive. We can also offer a system with Intel Pentium-4 2.2 GHz processor with 4GB RAM, and Video Capture and Web Streaming packages. So it is expandable, upgradeable, flexible and yes - portable (or luggable - if you prefer) ! It is not a replacement for a typical notebook PC.

Q. Is a lunchbox portable the solution for me?

ANS. If you are looking for a portable computer that is powerful, expandable, rugged and reliable? Do you have a portable or mobile application that requires the use of custom interface cards and peripherals? Or do you need the ultimate portable power for a field application? Maybe one that requires a Pentium-4 2.2 GHz processor or dual Athlon MP2000+ 4 GB RAM and a 181 Gigabyte SCSI hard-drive running Windows XP? Well a notebook will not cut it !
