Getac is one of the most respected names in the market when it comes to making rugged notebooks and tablets. Getac V100 Rugged tablet is yet another tablet PC from Getac. What makes it so impressive is a screen rated at 1,200 nits brightness.

The look of the Getac V100, like nearly all totally craggy notebooks is extremely boxy. There’s nothing “consumer friendly” about this design. The V100 means business, and the magnesium amalgamate construction and rubber fenders covering the perimeters are sufficient to strike fear in the processors of average notebooks. The V100 is nearly twice as thick as a standard 12″ notebook or tablet and a ticket to match it’s rugged build.

The sturdiness of the screen on the V100 is reasonably galvanizing. Not only are the back of the screen and screen bezel impact resistant, but the screen itself can face up to a direct impact from a fist without any damage.

The screen of Getac V100 Rugged convertible notebook is a 10.4″ touchscreen with 1024 x 768 resolution that is bright enough to be easily read outside under bright daylight. Colours are bright, but have a washed out look thanks to the aggregate of the touchscreen surface and an incredibly powerful backlight. As listed in the specs, the V100 includes a screen with a backlight rated at 1,200 nits lightness.

Even if you turn the screen lightness down to the lowest setting it remains brighter than many standard notebook screens at almost maximum lightness.
