Argonaut Computer - Ruggedized Marine Laptops, PCs and Sunlight Readable Displays

Innovative engineering and design features place Argonaut at the forefront of rugged and sunlight viewable computer products. Argonaut leads the market in developing the latest marine computer technology that can be found on yachts, ships, military vehicles and industrial shop floors worldwide.

In 1996, Argonaut launched the first fully ruggedized, waterproof laptop computer with resident marine navigation operating system. Since that time, revolutionary laptop product achievements have ranged from corrosion resistant electronics to leading edge sunlight viewable technology and, most recently, the world’s first ABS certified laptop computers.

In September 2001, the company introduced the marine industry's first laptop PC with large format transflective screen technology, providing for direct sunlight display visibility in the harshest environments with low power consumption. Argonaut began shipping the industry's first large format transflective marine monitors under the Tflex™ brand in late 2001.

Argonaut Computer, Inc. is a privately held company, based in La Jolla California. The company has a complete line of ruggedized computers, laptops, displays, and peripherals available through private-label OEMs, and through a dealer network.

RANGER 1500T/XL – ABS PDA CERTIFIED-MARINE ONBOARD LAPTOP

Argonaut, the oldest established name in marine computers, now brings you the world's first officially certified marine laptop computer.

The Ranger 1500T/TXL meets or exceeds tough military, naval and commercial marine standards including IEC/ EN60945, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Product Design Assessment (PDA) approval and military specification 810E shock / vibe / drop specs.

High resolution (XGA) 15in Tflex LCD offers legendary sunlight readability. The use of a magnesium alloy chassis, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding foils, NASA-born optical filter technology, industrial corrosion inhibitors, and vibration absorbing polymers contribute to this machine’s status.

Argonaut Ranger, the onboard laptop certified and built for marine professionals and recreational yachtsmen that demand safety, durability, performance and value.

TFLEX-G515 – SUNLIGHT READABLE MARINE LCD MONITOR

Argonaut's latest sunlight readable marine monitor, Tflex-G515, is packed with the features and performance of the world's most advanced marine displays but at a fraction of the cost.

An all-new, Generation-5 transflective 15in LCD offers exceptional visibility in all light conditions including intense direct sun, yet consumes far less power than traditional high bright displays. High temperature resistance is enhanced by the latest optical bond technology.

The revolutionary design lays flat on mounting surface and automatically seals quickly and easily. The rugged stainless steel front bezel is available in white, gray and black.

TFLEX-G2P – SUNLIGHT READABLE PILOTHOUSE MONITOR SERIES

The all-new Argonaut Tflex G2P pilothouse monitor series offers you solid sunlight viewable performance at breakthrough pricing. Starting at just $1,095 for a 15in XGA monitor, G2 is the world’s best value for sunlight readable, marinized display technology.

The brighter the light, the brighter the screen becomes as Tflex optical technology harnesses light energy and reflects it back out through the image. Dynamic engineering effectively lowers heat and power consumption over old style high-bright displays increasing life expectancy and relaibility. Standard VGA port allows easy connection to any PC or the latest generation black box marine electronics.

The G2P monitors provide a 2,000 + nit brightness equivalent in direct sunlight and are available in 12in, 15in, 17in, and 19in sizes.
