Just launched, to replace our proven Intel Centrino powered Series 4 range, these top-of-the-line notebooks set the standard in rugged design and real-life durability. We don't cite 'calculated MTBF' figures to back that claim, but the many customers who've tried other vendor's products and invariably settled on Opentecs because of their renowned track record of durability and on-going product support.

Featuring backlit, daylight readable LCDs, and a chassis that is argueably the most robust around, these are truly rugged tools for the field-based professional, not smart looking executive toys 'made over' to look the part.

From expeditions to the Himalayas, to research ships in the Antarctic, to round-the-world yacht racing, to coastal patrol boats and outback surveying operations, these workhorses have repeatedly been selected for applications that are renowned for destroying most of our competitors' products. Little wonder Australia's own front line of defence systems, requiring proven durability as well as certified Electronic Warfare rated electronics, have run on Opente RPCs since the turn of the century.

So for the best in rugged portable notebook technology, set your sights on an 'RPC' or 'Openfire RPC'.
