New Zebra ET401 Rugged Tablet
Consumer tablets are not built to withstand drops so damages will lead to downtime and loss in productivity. Zebra tablets are best known for reliability and durability. The new, improved and affordable Zebra ET401 enterprise rugged tablet replaces the popular ET40/ET45.Â
Zebra’s latest and affordable model comes with standard 6GB RAM, is available in 8 in. or 10 in., equipped with a full-shift battery, Wi-Fi 7, integrated (optional) 2D barcode scanner and 16MP camera. Weighing as little as 480g, carrying the device around is a breeze. Worry about dropping your tablet? The ET401 comes with MIL-STD-810H certification with 1.2m drop to concrete or 1.5m with an optional rugged frame. The IP68 ingress protection means it is waterproof. So, why incur the cost of replacing consumer tablets when you just need one durable tablet? Furthermore, the optional Zebra OneCare 3-year or 5-year warranty means all accidental damages are covered and your investment is protected for the next 3 to 5 years!Â
