![]() So when creating the new X600, Getac took advantage of all that progress, both in technology and also with the much smaller size of many components, interface ports, expansion slots and more. We're talking 16.2 x 12.7 x 2.1 inches and a hefty starting weight just under ten pounds (weight, of course is relative: the first portable Mac weighed 18 pounds!).īut much has happened in that last decade. With full ruggedness and a big screen, there's no getting around that. The X600 is still a rather substantial piece of equipment. Other than that it's a completely new machine. Intel 7th generation Core and Xeon processorsĪs for the basic X600, pretty much the only thing it shares with its X500 predecessor is the overall concept and a bright 15.6-inch display. Intel 11th generation H-Series Core processors The new platform is available in three models, the basic X600 described in this review the taller X600 Pro that adds room for expansion such as additional ExpressCard or PCMCIA slots, a multimedia bay for extra batteries and even an optical drive, and more and finally the X600 Server that's based on a Xeon processor and also comes in a Server RAID version that's taller yet and offers yet more expansion, including up to 22TB of storage.

What does it all mean to potential customers, and what do they get with the new Getac X600? In essence a powerful, modern, full-size, full-function multi-purpose rugged laptop computer with a large display. While most such rugged laptops use ultra-low voltage mobile-optimized processors, Getac's X600 is built around Intel "H" level high performance laptop CPUs. ![]() Getac did that because sometimes even the performance of today's premium rugged mobile laptops isn't quite enough.
