Getac Computers – Built Rugged, Ready for the Real World

In a world where business is no longer confined to air-conditioned offices and desktop stations, professionals across sectors like defence, construction, mining, law enforcement, emergency services, and field utilities demand computing solutions that can go wherever they go. That’s where Getac computers stand out—offering high-performance rugged devices designed for the harshest environments.

At Miltec, we proudly supply, support, and service Getac’s full line of rugged laptops, tablets, and convertible devices throughout Australia and beyond. This article explores what makes Getac computers exceptional, their use across industries, and how Miltec ensures your Getac system performs from day one, rain or shine.

What Are Getac Computers?

Getac is a global leader in rugged technology, manufacturing some of the most durable and innovative computing devices available. Their product range includes:

• Rugged laptops
• Fully rugged and semi-rugged tablets
• Convertible devices (2-in-1)
• Vehicle-mounted computing systems
• Body-worn cameras and mobile video systems

Founded in 1989, Getac has consistently pushed the boundaries of rugged performance, delivering devices certified to military standards like MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, and IP65/67 water and dust resistance.

Key Features That Set Getac Apart

Military-Grade Durability

Each Getac computer is drop-tested from heights of 6 feet or more, designed to resist vibration, shocks, humidity, dust, rain, and extreme temperatures. Their compliance with MIL-STD-810H ensures resilience in real-world conditions.

IP-Rated Protection

With IP65 to IP67 ratings, Getac devices offer waterproof and dustproof casings that allow use in dirty, wet, or hazardous environments—ideal for outdoor fieldwork and industrial use.

Sunlight-Readable Displays

Getac uses LumiBond® technology in its screens for superior clarity and durability, offering up to 1400 nits brightness, perfect for bright, sunlit environments.

Hot-Swappable Batteries

Some Getac models include dual-battery systems, allowing continuous operation without shutting down the device—a lifesaver during field missions or emergencies.

Glove-Compatible Touchscreens

Touch interfaces remain responsive in rain, with gloves, or even with a stylus—ideal for medical staff, construction workers, or emergency responders.

High-End Performance

With the latest Intel Core i5/i7/i9 processors, NVIDIA GPUs, NVMe SSDs, and optional discrete graphics, Getac delivers workstation-grade performance in a rugged shell.
