Being a fully rugged tablet, it can easily bear the harsh weather conditions of sunlight or heavy rains, which makes it best suitable for outdoor use by workers in an industry. It also has a 12″ 10-finger capacitive Dual touch QHD screen (2160 x 1440 pixels), with 1200cd/m2 brightness, providing better viewing quality for tablet users who need to operate touchscreens with gloves when working outside.

The digitizer pen is IP55, protecting it against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures, and at the same time, furnishing the highest levels of writing, drawing and signature accuracy in unpleasant weather conditions.
