Optionally, an extremely rugged display with protective digitizer screen and stylus pen offers extreme dirt resistance for hard-core outdoor usage. The Kontron NotePAC Duo provides a sunlight-readable option and a built-in light sensor which automatically adjusts screen brightness according to the ambient light for optimal legibility under all conditions.

With embedded GSM, GPRS, UMTS (HSDPA/EVDO), WLAN 802.11a/b/g and Bluetooth V2.0 class 2, the Kontron NotePAC Duo allows access to next-generation wireless data networks almost anywhere in the world. 1x 10/100/1000 Ethernet-T, analog 56 k modem, 2x Cardbus, 2x USB 2.0, 1 x COM and VGA complete the feature set.
