New Super Bright, Super Thin, Super Rugged Tablet with Snap-on Barcode Option

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - April 13, 2016) - AMREL, the leading provider of rugged mobile computing solutions, announced the launch of APEX PX5, a 10.1" fully rugged, sunlight readable tablet with one of the brightest and sharpest displays on the market.

"What sets the APEX PX5 apart is the crisp image quality," explained Kalvin Chen, AMREL's Vice President of Operations. "Its visual excellence is a result of more than the 1000 nits rating. It also has a bright backlight, anti-reflective coatings, WUXGA 1920 x 1200 resolution, and directly bonded LCD layers. Very simply, the APEX PX5 has one of the best displays on any rugged tablet in the world."

Built into the APEX PX5 is AMREL's 30 years of expertise of supplying fully rugged computers to the frontline warfighters as well as Public Safety officers. In addition to its enviable IP65 rating, it complies with MIL-STD 810G, the military's premier ruggedness standard.

"With scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3, tough magnesium chassis, and a durable ABS plastic cover, you can have complete confidence in the APEX PX5 Tablet no matter where you take it," declares Mr. Chen. "In spite of all this ruggedness, the lightweight APEX PX5 is less than an inch thick."

The APEX PX5 is built to meet modern demands. Boasting a speedy 4th generation Intel^® Haswell Core ™ i5 processor, the APEX PX5 Tablet is ideal for graphic and other data-intensive applications. Its capacitive multi-touch supports glove touch, and a digitizer option. Other options include snap-on modules for magnetic stripe reader, smart card (CAC), NFC, as well as 2D barcode. To complete the tablet's offering, it has a vehicle dock, desktop dock, VESA mount bracket, 2-bay battery charger, and dual capacity battery pack for extended use. The APEX PX5 supports Public Safety, industrial, field service, and commercial applications.

"We're proud of the flexibility of the operating systems," states Mr. Chen. "You can choose to use either full Windows 7, or Windows Professional or Embedded 8.1. You even have an option to install Windows 10 Internet of Things Enterprise."
