Werock Expands Its Line of Rugged Notebooks for Construction

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail can keep the latest rugged notebooks from Werock from performing on the jobsite.

The Rockbook X540 and X550 G2 laptops have a dirt ingress-protection (IP) rating of IP-65, meet the MIL-STD-810G military standards for temperature, humidity and vibration, and are capable of withstanding drops from 4 feet and temperatures from -4°F to 140°F.

The new laptops are designed with 11th generation Intel Core™ UP3-Series processors with integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory for data and graphic-intensive tasks.

Capable of connectivity in remote areas, the X540 and X550 G2 meet the new Wi-Fi 6 WLAN standard and include options for LTE and 5G (expected in Winter 2022). Werock says the laptops can be used with all major GPS navigation systems.

The 14- or 15.6-inch full-HD displays are easy to read day or night thanks to 700 nits of brightness, the company says. (A nit is a number that describes the brightness of a television, smartphone, computer monitor or laptop screen. The higher the number, the brighter the display.) An optional glove-operated touchscreen is also available.

For those needing more power, expansion options are available. The NVMe main memory is available in various configurations up to 1 TB; a hard-drive slot enables the expansion by another 5 TB of storage capacity.
