Group Mobile, the leading online source for mobile computers (www.groupmobile.com), is now working with InterNACHI to offer its members a deep discount on one of the most popular “rugged” mobile computers in the industry, made by Xplore Technologies.
Rugged computers—computers specifically designed to handle outdoor, vehicular and on-site use—have become quickly adopted by Home Inspectors as their commercial laptops and tablet PCs continue to prove too delicate for conditions outside the office. Failure, damage and downtime, along with display screens that are barely readable in sunlight, make commercial computers difficult to use in the field. Home Inspectors have now been able to increase their efficiency and effectiveness with rugged computers that are specifically built to operate in inclement weather or outdoor conditions.
To encourage the use of rugged computers for increased efficiency in the field,
InterNACHI has joined up with Group Mobile to provide the iX104C2, the leading rugged
tablet PC from Xplore Technologies. The Xplore computer will be available to InterNACHI
members at an 8% discount off of the already discounted Group Mobile Website pricing.
The iX104C2 is able to handle a 4-foot drop onto a concrete surface without sustaining
damage. The iX104C2 is fully sealed to keep out water, dust and extremely hot
and cold ambient temperatures. And, the All-Vue outdoor-viewable display is recognized
as one of the best display screens on the market, even in direct sunlight conditions.
“We have previously provided Xplore computer systems to quite a few Home Inspectors around the country. We believe the iX104C2 is the best-suited computer on the market for Inspectors,” says Richard Lawson, Sales Manager for Group Mobile. “This computer will allow them to complete their inspection forms on the computer and it even converts their handwritten notes to digital form. This saves a tremendous amount of time since hand-completed forms do not have to be re-entered into the office computer.”
