2. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ARMOR X7
The X7 is a rugged full-feature tablet PC. Its compact size and low
weight, coupled with a high-contrast display for use in bright
sunlight, make it ideal for field use. The X7 is rated IP67 for
protection from dust, dirt, water and other contaminating
elements.
It is specifically designed to support a full 8-hour shift operating on
one set of batteries. However, its hot-swap battery access means
you can change the batteries without the need for tools and
without interrupting normal computer operations.
Like its big brother, the X10gx, the X7 has a dual mode Touch and
Pen screen supporting both finger navigation and detailed graphic
positioning using a pen or stylus. Your X7 is ready for use
anywhere, any time.
Processor and Operating System
The X7 contains an Intel® 1.6GHz Pineview-M single core processor with up to 2 GB of 667
MHz DDR2 memory and 512 kb of level 2 cache. Your X7 comes with either the Microsoft
Windows7 Professional® or Windows 7 Ultimate® 32 bit operating system.
Data Storage
The X7 has a number of flexible solutions for data storage. It currently comes with 32 GB of
mSATA solid state mass storage when configured with the Gobi WWAN radio. If the WWAN
radio is not installed, the X7 is equipped with a 1.8” solid state drive of 32GB or 80GB capacity
in addition to the mSATA memory
Dual Screen Display
The X7 display has both an active pen screen and a touch screen combined into one display
that leverages the latest bonded LCD technologies. The pen screen allows you to navigate
without touching the screen surface and provides greater accuracy in handwriting or signature
capture. An active pen is provided with the X7. The touch screen allows using either a fingertip
or passive stylus for navigation and input.
The display defaults to touch mode until the pen screen digitizer senses the presence of an
active pen within approximately 1 cm of the screen surface and activates the pen screen. When
the active pen is moved away from the screen for a few seconds, the display will revert back to
touch mode.
