Dell Pro Rugged tablets and laptops bring AI-powered performance to the harshest environments, from the 10" and 12" Copilot+ tablets to the 13" fully-rugged and 14" semi-rugged laptops. Each system is built on Intel® Core™ Ultra processors with integrated NPUs (neural processing units) delivering tens of TOPS of on-device AI acceleration, so copilots, vision models, and predictive apps can run locally even with limited connectivity. Sunlight-readable touch displays up to 1200–1400 nits, long-life SSD storage, and enterprise-grade security make this family ideal for teams that need to capture, analyze, and act on data in real time at the edge.
Designed for field work, the Pro Rugged 10 and 12 tablets pair compact form factors with fully-rugged, MIL-STD-tested construction and IP66 protection, so they can shrug off dust, water jets, drops, and temperature extremes. Dual hot-swappable batteries on the 10" and expandable battery options on the 12" keep crews running full shifts without shutting down, while bright FHD+ touch panels with glove support stay readable in full sun. Step up to the 13" fully-rugged or 14" semi-rugged laptops when you need more keyboard-driven work, larger screens, and broader I/O without sacrificing survivability; the 13" system adds IP65-class protection and a 1400-nit FHD touch display in a compact footprint, while the 14" balances ruggedization with lighter weight for mobile professionals.
Across the range, you get modern connectivity and manageability to simplify fleet deployment: Wi-Fi 7 on tablets, Wi-Fi 6E on laptops, optional 5G modems, GPS, serial and Ethernet ports, smart-card and fingerprint readers, removable SSDs, and Intel vPro for remote management and security controls. Operators in the field benefit from fast, responsive devices that stay online, stay visible, and stay productive in almost any conditions.
