Stealth Computer kicks and shoves its Warrior 2000 rugged tablet out the door

Stealth Computer isn’t exactly going for much subtlety with a rugged laptop line called “Warrior,” but subtlety is hardly part of the equation when we’re talking about a convertible tablet that’s protected from repeated drops, shocks, dust, water, and, um, lint. Like most such ruggedized computers, however, all that comes at some expense to performance, although this new 13.3-inch Warrior NW-2000 model is certainly still more than adequate with a 1.06GHz low-voltage Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and a built-in DVD burner, not to mention optional 3G, GPS, and all the usual security measures like a fingerprint scanner and various password protection options. Oh, and a starting price of $4,895.
