If your customers work in extreme conditions, one thing you know they can’t afford to worry about is whether the technology they rely upon is as rugged as the job needs it to be. Their safety – in some cases, their lives – depend upon it.
When working in these extreme environments, the elements that the technology is exposed to can be unforgiving. This includes things like temperature, constant vibration, or exposure to dust and humidity.
The traditional office laptop cannot survive in environments like this, and that’s what led to “rugged laptops” which can work without interruption in extreme physical conditions.
Rugged laptops designed to address modern applications
Dell Technologies has been making rugged devices for years now, and they’ve come to be known for housing a decent amount of power in a unit capable of working across various condition types. However, with improvements made in modern applications, there is a need for new rugged laptops.
This brings us to the all-new Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and Dell Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme laptops, the company’s latest offerings in the Rugged lineup. Among the high-level benefits that these new devices have to offer your customers:
• Enhanced field productivity with 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, with vPro optional
• Mission-critical connectivity with Intel® Wi-Fi 6E and optional 5G-capability
• Improved daylight-readable and glove-touch capable screens of up to 1400 nits of brightness for optimal field usability
• Improved battery run-time to almost 25 hours with dual hot swappable batteries and Express Charge Boost for up to a 35% charge in 20 minutes for 24×7 field operations
