Durabook Offers Complete Portfolio of Computer Solutions

NCS sells Durabook solutions to government, military and commercial markets. Durabook offers a wide product selection of rugged laptops and rugged tablets.

Consider the Durabook S14I Laptop, which pushes semi-rugged devices to the next level.

It is built with Intel® 11th Generation CPUs and has a class-leading 4' drop spec/IP 53 rating. The S14I is engineered to combine military-grade durability, field-worker functionality,  high performance, and long battery life for non-stop use, making it suitable for use in locations where rain or dust may be a regular occurrence.

The S14I features a significant CPU upgrade with Intel® Tiger Lake 11th generation platform, using Intel’s 10nm processor technology. This device comes with integrated Intel® Iris Xe graphics, and for professionals who use intensive graphic computing, it can be upgraded to an optional standalone NVIDIA GeForce® GTX1050. With the ultra-high-speed data transmission capability of Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 with max. speed of 2.4Gbps and Bluetooth® V5.2, all information is instantly synced and fed back to the data control center.

Durability and Security

The S14I is built with a robust mechanical design and rigorously tested components. It meets the standards of MIL-STD-810H; withstands up to a 4-foot drop; and boasts an IP53 rating. This tough yet elegant rugged laptop breaches the boundary between semi-rugged and fully-rugged devices.
It now includes Windows Hello encrypted biometrics, a more secure, user-friendly and faster way of accessing Windows® OS. The S14I semi-rugged platform is finding significant success in commercial markets, such as power/utilities, and in the military sector, including the U.S. Army and Air Force.
