The MaxiPC X40 is a new PC designed especially for demanding forest environments, with hardware built to withstand vibrations and hard knocks.

One major new feature of the MaxiPC X40 is its SSD-type hard drive. One benefit of an SSD over a traditional hard drive is that read and write times are much faster. What's more, the fact that an SDD has no moving parts makes it more reliable and durable.

The new MaxiPC X40 offers advantages such as a much shorter machine startup time, faster switching between operators and assignments and faster report printouts. The PC also has a newly developed power supply and fanless cooling, which together with the new hard drive further increase reliability.

The MaxiPC X40 is delivered with virus protection pre-installed. The operating system is adapted for use in forest machines and has been made more user-friendly by hiding unnecessary menus and functions. It is possible to equip the PC with a 12-inch touch screen in a stylish design. Another option is the large capacity backup solution for backing up machine data.

The MaxiPC X40 is designed for the ongoing market and forest industry transition from Windows XP to newer operating systems.
