What Makes a Laptop ‘Rugged’?
Rugged laptops are specialized mobile computers designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as:
- Extreme temperatures
- Water exposure (rain, spills, immersion)
- Dust and sand
- Shocks, drops, and vibrations
They adhere to rigorous military and industry certifications, including:
- MIL-STD-810H (Military Standard for durability)
- IP65/IP66/IP67 (Ingress Protection rating)
- ANSI/UL certifications (especially in hazardous locations)
Getac goes a step further by designing rugged devices from the ground up—not merely reinforcing consumer-grade products. This results in equipment purpose-built for toughness, long battery life, and field reliability.
