Sweet Jesus! A conduction cooled, ruggedized super-UMPC has been born. And its name is Spartan! Frankly, I’m speechless and so desperatley want one of these bad-boys. It will go perfect with my Apache-class attack chopper. Here are the details of the General Micro Systems machine:

• Ultra small footprint – 6.5”x3.0”x 0.5” (first rugged UMPC)
• Fits in Warfighter’s pant pouch, with 6-hour battery life
• Up to 1.4GHz Pentium®-M processor with up to 2Mbytes of L2 Cache
• Up to 2Gbytes of ECC memory and 16Gbytes of bootable Flash
• CompuSec and E-Purge prevents unauthorized or enemy access

Spartan P630 is available in a conduction-cooled version operating at (-40°C to +85°C) or the standard convection-cooled version with commercial operating temperatures (0° C to +55° C). Packaging options vary from plastic for benign environments to titanium-aluminum enclosures for the most critical applications.

With this deployed to the warzone, those terrorists will be running scared. Well, they’ll be running scared for about 2 hours. Then the Spartan’s battery runs dry. Full details here.
