Reliant Core Duo Fanless
Marine Computer 
The Reliant Core Duo from AR Engineering sets
the new standard in powerful, yet efficient marine computers. It features fanless
design, the speed of an Intel Core Duo processor, and efficiency, both in power
use and space.
All of AR Engineering's computers feature SeaSafe
marinization, a hardening process that consists of vibration dampening, and a
corrosion control process using VCI’s (vapor corrosion inhibitors) and
conformal circuit board coating.
This fanless design takes corrosion control one step further by limiting the
airflow through the unit. The uncirculated air is warmed by the internal
components, resulting in a very dry environment, regardless of outside humidity.
This very quiet design eliminate failures from fans, and from the buildup of
internal moisture and dust, resulting in a extremely reliable marine computer.
Frankly, this is an amazing computer. It
is extremely rugged and reliable, uses very little power, and supports two
monitors, (or a monitor and a TV). Its fast, but makes virtually no noise.
The case is so strong you can stand on it, and is quite small. The included
mounting bracket lets you install it in any position. It has a startup delay so
engine cranking won't spike it, and remote power-up and shutdown. The forgiving
voltage input range allows for operation with smart alternator regulators.
There's nothing else even close.
From Intel:
The
Intel® Core™ Duo processor breaks new ground. Its dual-core technology
rewrites the rules of computing, delivering optimized power efficient computing
and breakthrough dual-core performance with amazingly low power consumption.
The Mobile Intel® 945GM Express chipset's
low power design enables up to 28% less average power consumption compared to
previous generations. Featuring the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950, the
Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset delivers up to 2x improvement in graphics
performance and up to a 25% higher data transfer rate.
Low power usage means less
battery drain and less heat, the enemy of all electronics. Core Duo
means top performance!
