The EMP 370 is built around a shock-resistant aluminum "lunchbox" style case that is the essence of user functionality. In addition to its large keyboard and screen, the system provides dual cooling fans, two 5.25in and two 3.5in bays for shock-isolated disks, CD or DVD drives, and space for seven full-length PCI, ISA, or PCI/ISA expansion cards. A Genesis 5621 analog-to-digital conversion board is already included, mated to the ATX backboard. A 10-key pad and fingertip mousepad are part of the package.

The EMP 370 is designed for those field service applications where laptop computers are not flexible enough to do the job. These include geophysical data acquisition, law enforcement forensic (CSI) work, factory floor, forest service, and fire and medical emergency applications, among others where performance and ruggedness are equally important. An amplified speaker is included for in-field presentations. The standard 17-inch screen comes with tempered anti-glare glass but can be replaced with an optional transflective sunlight-readable LCD for making presentations in bright daylight.
Price And Availability
Available off-the-shelf or user-specified configurations in as little as 24-hours, the EMP 370 is priced as low as $3,799 in single unit quantities with significant OEM and ODM discounts available. Full product specifications can be found at http://www.acmeportable.com.
