Hi Toms,
I am currently looking for a Workstation + Semi/Fully Rugged notebook that i could use outdoor for long periods. My goal is to collect data and samples in the forest and data crunch them. That's all i could say about my intention. I will be travelling from countries to countries with big range of temperature change (eg. canada to vn)
As for budget it is technically not a problem as i am being sponsored but ideally i want to keep it around $3,000 but my budget is $5,000 to $10,000, even less it amazing.
As for requirement
-At least 24hrs advertised battery life.
-Touch Screen (resistive or captive)
-SSD is a MUST
-Use of Open CL 1.1/1.2 GPU - preferably AMD GCN architecture. Nvidia CUDA is also acceptable. Minimum of 1GB GDDR5 VRAM.
-1080p or equivalent resolution
- Windows 7 Ultimate and/or GNU Linux compatible
-Backlight Keyboard
- Webcam & Microphone/Headphone jacks
- 8gb RAM, if possible EEC (idk if it is possible)
- Semi Rugged or Fully Rugged.
As for things that i don't really care:
-screen size
-weight
-screen brightness
-CPU AMD/Intel
I'm open to any recommendations or any discussion on the topic. It would be optimal if the retailer of the notebook has a official tech spec site that i could check out.
As for now, as writing this post, i have able to track down a few semi/fully rugged notebook but they all do not possess options for SSD. So i think as long as there is a SSD inside, i'll take it into consideration.
Thanks Tom's Community
