New GETAC B300 Display Technology 'Lights Up' Rugged Computing

New Fully Rugged Notebook Offers Ultra-Bright 1200 Nit Display,
Military-Use Night Vision Capabilities in One Package
TAMPA, Fla.--(Business Wire)--GETAC Inc., a leading innovator and manufacturer of Rugged
computers that meet the demands of field-based applications, today
introduces the GETAC B300, a new full-featured, Fully Rugged notebook
PC expressly designed for mobile users whose jobs require a display
that can be easily read in any lighting condition, day or night. The
B300 will be unveiled during the DistribuTECH 2008 Conference &
Exhibition at the Tampa Convention Center (Booth #1938), and will be
commercially available beginning in March 2008.

"Screen viewability has long been an issue for mobile users whose
jobs require them to operate in outdoor extremes," said Jim Rimay,
vice president of Sales & Marketing at GETAC. "With the GETAC B300,
true readability in the field no longer is a problem. We've taken
daylight-readable display technology to its logical next step by
introducing the industry's first 1200 Nit screen with optional Night
Vision capabilities in a Fully Rugged notebook platform. What's
amazing is the B300 achieves this without sacrificing battery life by
using new patent-pending LED backlight technology."

A leading innovator among Rugged PC manufacturers, GETAC developed
patent-pending micro-controller technology designed to the U.S. Army's
MIL-STD-3009 standard for Night Vision. The technology uses an
advanced software and hardware combination to both auto-adjust for
brightness and allow instant override with a dedicated brightness hot
key. This eliminates the need for special Night Vision optical filters
and provides an additional measure of safety for nighttime military or
law enforcement applications.

The 7.7-pound B300 is a dynamic warrior built to survive any
Rugged job or environment. It features a 13.3-inch TFT XGA
transmissive Ultra-Bright, sunlight-readable display with optional
integrated touchscreen and 1200 Nit LCD panel. It is powered by an
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Merom L7500, 4MB L2 cache processor that
operates at 1.6GHz and offers up to 12 hours of battery life on one
battery. The B300 includes 512MB DDRII DRAM upgradeable to 4GB,
80/120GB shock-resistant HDD, and sealed ports and connector cover.
The Fully Rugged unit is contained in a watertight magnesium alloy
case that is vibration and drop-shock resistant. The B300 has been
designed and tested to comply with MIL-STD-810F and IP54 standards and
is available with optional salt fog and/or MIL-STD-461E compliance.
The B300 includes 802.11b/g wireless LAN connectivity; Bluetooth 2.0,
EV-DO and GPRS/EDGE networks and integrated GPS are available as
options.

The GETAC B300 Fully Rugged notebook PC also includes a number of
security features - including fingerprint scanner, optional smart card
reader, cable lock slot and TPM v1.2.

The GETAC B300 will be available through GETAC authorized
resellers. Please visit www.getac.com for more information.
