Lunchbox Portables
A lunchbox computer is basically a hybrid system. It consists of a flat panel LCD display with a keyboard that folds up to protect the display similar to a notebook but the computer portion is built from off the shelf components rather than with a proprietary motherboard and power supply as with a notebook. This construction makes for a rugged, transportable, upgradable, system that is more flexible than a notebook or laptop. You lunchbox can have more memory (up to 48GB of DDR3 RAM), more processing power (including dual six core AMD Opteron processors), more video power (including SLI or Crossfire), more hard drive space (including multiple hot swappable hard drives supporting RAID configurations of up to 20 terabytes) and especially expansion slots (including multiple full-sized ISA, PCI, PCIX and or PCIe expansion slots), not available in any other portable computer platform. Notebook and laptop computers must make compromises between size, weight, performance, ruggedness, and battery life. In the case of a lunchbox, size and weight have been sacrificed to performance, capacity, and functionality. The net result is a rugged portable computer system or mobile file server that can accept multiple expansion cards for data acquisition and logging, ultrasonic structural analysis, infra red imaging, sonar mapping, product demonstration, forensic analysis, video editing, CAD, CAM, and a host of other applications. Choose one of our many lunchbox servers on the left as a base and customize it to meet your needs or contact one of our knowledgeable sales engineers to work out a more advanced configuration.
