Azentek Atlas

scott136 — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 01:55:17 +0000

Azentek created a lot of buzz and won a 2008 “Best of CES” award with their Atlas CPC-1000 in-dash computer. Designed for your vehicle’s double-sized opening, it plays DVDs and runs Windows® Vista Ultimate Edition, giving you and your passengers incredible entertainment options.

Serious computing power
Azentek didn’t design a stripped-down “travel computer.” Instead, the CPC-1000 includes the serious processing power and advanced features you’d expect from your home computer, including built-in 802.11 b/g/ wireless connectivity, a CD burner, and an Intel® graphics accelerator. Its spacious 120GB hard drive gives you storage to spare, while the 1.83GHz processor and 1GB of RAM make it easy to multitask. And like your home computer, the CPC-1000 is expandable — you can upgrade the hard drive to 160GB, and double the RAM to 2GB.

Surf the Internet in your vehicle
You can take advantage of the fast, built-in wireless connectivity when you’re parked in an RV park or another area with a WiFi hotspot. Or, with your cell phone data plan and a USB modem, your backseat passengers can surf the web on a rear monitor while you’re rolling down the highway.

Information at your fingertips
Use the bright, 6.5″ touchscreen to run the built-in navigation system, play DVDs and CDs, or access any Windows® computer programs. Store your movie, music, and video games on the 120GB hard drive — your passengers will have a seemingly endless supply of entertainment at their disposal.

Great sound and movie playback
Your ears will appreciate the dynamic built-in amplifier and premium digital-to-analog converter when you’re playing CDs or music files. Front-panel USB, SD® card, and auxiliary inputs allow you to connect just about any source to this versatile receiver. Use a second monitor to set up a backseat movie theater, complete with Dolby 5.1 surround sound, and nobody’s going to ask “Are we there yet?”

You speak, it obeys
Voice-activated navigation allows you to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. You can also conduct hands-free phone conversations through the CPC-1000, using its built-in Bluetooth® receiver.

Monitor your vehicle’s performance
With many newer vehicles, you can connect the CPC-1000 to your vehicle’s diagnostic (OBD II) system, giving you instant feedback on your engine’s performance, handy for whenever the “check engine” light comes on.
