Our friends over at Getac have announced a new 11.6 inch Rugged Windows 8 Tablet that will feature the latest and greatest Intel Haswell Core Series processors in all i3/i5/i7 variations, together with Integrated 4G Wireless Broadband and Dual Hot Swap Batteries! We understand the final version will be coloured in a more hardcore black and grey design, unlike the mockup pictured above which has been copied across from their existing Z710 Android Tablet.

And this Slate Tablet is definitely hardcore – with MIL-STD-810G and IP65 rating together with optional ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 Hazardous rating, there won’t be many places you can’t take it! Its fully loaded with G-Sensors, an E-Compass, and SiRFstarIV GPS amongst other things field workers need when they are out in the world.

This Tablet PC represents a significant performance jump for Getac from their current range of Intel Atom based Tablet PCs, and puts them right in the mix against the  Motion F5t Rugged Field Tablet and the more recent Panasonic FZ-G1 Windows 8 Rugged Tablet PC, so we very much look forward to reviewing the differences with you.

We will confirm more details and specifications closer to launch, but if you are interested in pre-ordering please call us today on 1300 110 101.
