Standard features include a fingerprint scanner, smartcard reader, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n), Gigabit Ethernet, an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port, three USB 2.0 ports and a further USB 2.0/eSATA combo connector, a pair of audio jacks, plus VGA and serial ports.
There is a DVD super-multi drive, PC Card and ExpressCard/54 slots, and a multi-format flash card reader. Getac doesn't stint on processing power, either. You can specify either a 2.53GHz Intel Core i3-380M or a 2.4GHz Core i5-520M. The operating system is Windows 7 Professional.
All this doesn't come cheap, with a starting price of £1,227 (ex. VAT). But if you want a notebook that will survive challenging conditions, you need to be prepared to pay for a system like the Getac S400.
