ACME Portable Machines, Inc.(Azusa, CA) says its EMP 370 is a large-scale rugged portable computerwith a 17-inch non-glare screen, detachable 108-key keyboard, and sevenopen card slots.

X 17 in. X 9.5 in.
The EMP 370 is designed for field service applications where laptopcomputers are not flexible enough. These include geophysical dataacquisition, law enforcement forensic (CSI) work, factory floor, forestservice, and fire, and medical emergency applications, among otherswhere performance and ruggedness are equally important. An amplifiedspeaker is included for in-field presentations. The standard 17-inchscreen comes with tempered anti-glare glass but can be replaced with anoptional transflective sunlight-readable LCD for making presentationsin bright daylight.
