Glacier's Everest E4000 Touch PC Is Ultra-Rugged
Difficult though it may be to believe, the product you see enlarged
below is actually a computer. Not a bloated GPS device, not a rough and
tough digital photo frame, but a bona fide PC. Glacier Computer's new
Everest E4000 is quite the unique beast, acting as a touchscreen-based
computer for specialized, rugged environments that can't afford the
luxuries of keyboards and mice.
As Dan Poisson, Glacier Director of Engineering puts it: "The E4000 configuration has been re-engineered to incorporate the features most commonly requested by warehouse, freight, and shop floor customers." Honestly, we see this machine as having an even broader reach than that. Just think of the possibilities here in terms of embedded computing. We're talking about a carputer with oodles of horsepower, or an in-wall computer that can control every aspect of your home automation system. Heck, just imagine how much fun your toddler could have with a touch-based PC.
Glacier designed this unit to withstand all sorts of punishment inflicted by harsh working conditions, which pretty much guarantees that it won't cave when kicked around by your youngsters. The E4000 will be made available in three sizes (10-, 12- and 15-inch displays) and will ship with a variety of processor choices. Buyers will also be able to select from Windows XP Professional, XP Embedded and a fully supported version of Linux, though there's no word yet on just how pricey these units will be.
