Does an Economical yet Reliable Rugged Tablet Exist?
The consumer tablet is cheap but it is not the ideal tablet for the workplace. 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. What about affordability?Â
Introducing the new Zebra ET4x Rugged Tablet. Available in 8 in. or 10 in., equipped with a full-shift battery, integrated 2D barcode scanner and 13MP camera. Weighing as little as 485g, carrying the device around is a breeze. Worry about dropping your tablet? The standard device comes with MIL-STD-810H certification with 1.2m drop to concrete or 1.55m with an optional rugged frame! So, why incur the cost of replacing consumer tablets when you just need one durable tablet?
