The removable HDD bay allow users to easily remove the HDD, giving users a wide array of advantages such as, allowing multiple users to share laptop but not the HDD, safeguarding/security by removal of the HDD, and general reliability of easily removing the HDD and putting it into another laptop regardless of the original laptop’s state.

The IP54 design means that the NotePAC DUO is designed to survive the extreme use and needs of today’s “on-the-go” road warriors in field service, utilities, construction, telecommunications, military, police, fire and emergency services (EMS), data collection in science, oil and gas exploration where wind-blown, heavy rain, three–foot drops off the back of a truck, and temperatures from –20 to +55º C may be encountered.

Going beyond rugged, the NotePAC DUO is a powerful Notebook/ Tablet computer. It features a bright 10.4” TFT XGA or 12.1" WXGA LCD screen with 128MB of shared RAM that provides vibrant images whether indoors or outdoors. For direct sunlight applications, an optional outdoor viewable display is available. A touch screen option is also available to the on-the-go/in-vehicle users. Behind the display is the latest Intel Core Duo ULV processor for true speed and wireless portability. The 1.2GHz processor is enhanced with up to 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, a 667 MHz FSB, a selection of quick-swap hard disk drives ( 80, or 120 GB).
