Above are two pictures of our 15 year old StealthBox Portable PC
1st pic, front view & 2nd pic where expansion card slots are ported out.

Stealth has been producing our Lunch Box style StealthBox portable computers for almost 20 years now. They have been ideal for all kinds of industry applications including PLC programmers, Portable Servers, Data Acquisition, Portable Video Editing, Instrumentation and any other application that requires expansion card slots along with desktop  processing power.

The photo above is a 1996 vintage StealthBox that came in for repairs recently from a steel processing plant. You can see the computer is a little banged up  however it was still working some 15 years later and the customer only wanted a new keyboard and tune up. In today’s world it is not uncommon for people turn over their technology investments (consumer electronics) in mere months not years. Along with our free life time technical support, Stealth Computer builds products that offer you the best return on your technology investment.

Well it really depends on the application so here is the skinny on the main touch technologies available from Stealth Computer.Stealth Touch LCD

The four most common touch screen technologies include resistive, infrared, capacitive and SAW (surface acoustic wave). Each technology offers its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Resistive and capacitive touch screen technologies are the most popular for industrial applications. They are both very reliable. If the application requires that operators can wear gloves when using the touch screen, then we generally recommend the resistive technology (capacitive doesn’t support). Otherwise the capacitive technology (better optical characteristics) is more often recommended.

Under Microsoft’s Windows life-cycle policy, Systems Builder like Stealth Computer will be able to offer WIN XP license until Jan 31, 2009

Windows XP Home and Starter editions will still be preloaded on ultra-low-cost PCs through June 30, 2010, or one year after the launch of the next version of Windows – whichever comes first, the company said.

In the meantime there’s been much speculation about Windows 7 as Vista sales and upgrades continue to be lower than anticipated.
