ACME Portable Machines showed off their Seahawk 100 computer on the show floor of the National Association of Broadcasters 2012 show. Multiple monitors, ruggedized, semi-portable, but slightly out of date on the hardware side.
When you think about portable computing: do you think about a laptop or a tablet? Either way you probably do not think about this product. But, should you?
Well if you did you would probably know it.
ACME Portable Machines is showing off the Seahawk 100 at NAB this week. The purpose for the device is to bring a fully functional multi-monitor computer where you need it, to plug it in, and to be assured that it will work.
Just don’t give in to the temptation to make people call you the operator…
Functionally the device is slightly out of date with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S 2.83 GHz processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 video card, and 2-8 GB of RAM. If your desire is to play Starcraft 2 on the three monitors than you should have no problems, but that is not why you are purchasing this PC. If you are the type of person to visit the NAB show you probably will wish to include much more RAM than the default 2GB — or even if you are not, 2GB is quite low nowadays.
It’s not a tumah!
Price is only available by quote, but check out their website for more information. The design definitely looks interesting for users of its niche — professionals in the field who just cannot live without the flexibility of multiple screens.
Thanks to our friend Colleen for the heads up and photos!
I actually made something
I actually made something like this about 5 years ago. I works really well but eats up desk spacewhich pushes you keyboard to the edge almost into your lap.My tower was a full size one so they sat more or less at eye level. I realley isnt hard at all to make you just have to reinforce the side panel to hold the weight.
I really need to start proof
I really need to start proof reading what I type before I “hit” post.
I believe registered users
I believe registered users can edit their posts… but maybe it’s only staff.
