Electronic company Acer has launched Enduro, its new line of robust notebooks and tablets designed specifically to ensure the durability, portability and performance required by professionals working in the field
Andrew Chuang, general manager, rugged computing at Acer, said, “With an increasingly modern workforce, more and more mobile devices are being deployed in the field where they are subject to harsher handling. Enduro, our new line of rugged notebooks and tablets, was created to provide our customers with the durability and performance that gets the job done.”
Acer Enduro N7 Rugged Notebook
The Acer Enduro N7 is a rugged notebook constructed with shock-absorbent materials and can withstand drops onto hardest surfaces. The notebook is dust and water proof with MIL-810G and IP65 certification. This durability makes the device suitable for hot or cold working environments.
The notebook features a 700-nit, 14-inch FHD screen and dual batteries: one hot-swappable battery with a long 10-hour life and another built-in bridge battery. The notebook also features a quad-core 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 CPU.
The Enduro N7 is also very secure. A hardware-level Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 hardware-level checks for any signs of intrusion during startup, and the Acer Enduro Manageability Suite (AEMS) helps protect the device while also facilitating the deployment of services or system configurations across many devices. With Windows Hello a fingerprint sensor supports more secure logins.
Acer Enduro N3 Rugged Notebook
The Acer Enduro N3 is a powerful notebook powered by a 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, with an optional NVIDIA GeForce MX230 discrete GPU and 512 GB PCle Gen3 NVMe SSD for those with exceptionally heavy workloads.
The Enduro N3 was specially engineered to be drop and water resistant, achieving MIL-STD 810 G and IP53 certifications while maintaining a thin-and-light frame of just 24.85 mm (0.98 in) at 1.985 kg (4.37 lb). Some of these features include reinforced drop corners, Corning Gorilla Glass to protect the display from water and the water-resistant Aquafan.
