Introduction:When you set yourself a challenge against the odds and embark on a journey knowing that the hardware you have to hand has to last, then it pays to select kit that can take a few kicks.

Mission One: Arid Region TestLocation : Sudan

Overview:

Lying in a remote arid region of Sudan, with temperatures climbing to 47+, the Pyramids of Mer0ë supplied a spectacular backdrop for our HD edit tests.

A sand storm added complication causing havoc with the new cameras however the GETAC handled it all with easy.


Keen to test the rugged nature of the systems in our own way, we set about bullying the M230N2…

Needless to say, It passed with flying colors

HD Edit Test:Modern HD edits like those we produce for Discovery, place extremely high demands on computer systems. Remarkably the M230N2 performed above our expectations; producing complex edits with ease. Very Impressive. Watch the sample edit here
