“The myth is true there can be an Unbreakable Tablet.”
Recently I was looking up on tablets. The latest 2023 versions are all coming out sleek and lightweight, but When your work takes you to the world’s harshest environments, you can’t afford for technology to fail you. There I found the Dell Technologies’ Rugged product line (rugged laptops and Tablets) is designed to enable work from anywhere, no matter how rough things get. And that sounded really interesting as I need something like this as I want the best technology and I want it rough and tough! An Unbreakable Tablet.
Introduction of the Latest Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme, The Unbreakable Tablet.
After waiting for years now, something that is durable is in the market, an Unbreakable Tablet, the latest Dell Latitude Rugged devices: designed to survive the elements of the environment, such as those with high temperatures and high levels of humidity, as well as those with vibration, immersion, acoustic noise, gunfire shock, solar radiation, and even fungal growth.
It has more than the Standard components found in rugged laptops which includes high-performance Intel processors, connectivity via USB-C ports, dedicated GPS receivers, mobile broadband connections, and wireless internet access. The screens on these laptops are also bright enough to be readable outside, making them ideal for traveling.
Additional features such as mobile broadband, Wi-Fi, and dedicated GPS can be added to rugged laptops as part of their customization options. Both the MIL-STD-810 standard and the Ingress Protection standard have been met, and in the case of the Ingress Protection standard, they have even been exceeded.
It’s still debatable whether it is a tablet or laptop as it has all the functions of a laptop and still can carry around like a tablet. This then, is a Tablet taken to the max. But is it actually good? Reading the specs and reviews from Dell, YouTube, and Amazon says it is too good and worth the money!
