General Dynamics Introduces New Tadpole® TOPAZ Rugged Notebook; High-end Computing and Graphics Display at a COTS Price
The Tadpole TOPAZ is ruggedized for superior performance in the most demanding command, control, communication and computing environments
CUPERTINO, Calif., -- The new rugged Tadpole® TOPAZ notebook computer by General Dynamics is now available for military power-users, first responders and federal agents who require workstation-class applications with mobile-server performance.
