The Duros 8404 rugged tablet computer has been re-engineered to include an Intel Atom Processor and an improved sunlight-viewable 8.4-inch diagonal SVGA resistive touch-screen. The Intel 1.1 GHz Atom Processor provides increased processing power with greater efficiency, which speeds up computing, reduces the amount of heat generated, and extends battery life. The Atom Processor is also available in the Duros 1214, a logistics-specific computer that mounts directly to industrial machinery, including forklifts and pallet trucks.

The new LED sunlight-viewable display achieves brightness of 1,100 nit (candelas per square meter), making it more than three times brighter than the previous model and easy to see in glaring sunlight. The screen is dimmable from zero to 100 percent and has a 120-degree viewing angle.

This PC also features a solid-aluminum chassis and non-rotating compact flash drive. The unit's hot-swappable battery feature reduces downtime and provides continuous battery life, without the risk of data loss.
