Dell on Tuesday unveiled a 12.1-inch rugged convertible tablet PC, the Latitude XT2 XFR, the first multitouch tablet PC that can withstand ballistic shock, extreme temperatures, dust, sand and moisture. The marine electronics industry may not like this. A military spec windows pc that can stand up to harsh inviroments ( salt water & moisture ) for retail $3600. This is a portable laptop that can be taken with you off the boat. compare this against just a 12 inch screen for a boat, that does not include a computer. This should be a positive thing for boaters. Jim Meader Broker/Owner RE/MAX Today DRE# 00493029 Jim@rmtmail.com
