tablets are both approved to military-grade standards (MIL-STD-810G) and work
in the harshest conditions. They can sustain drops, vibrations, shocks, and
liquid spills. When choosing a rugged device, you want to think about what you
need the equipment to do. If your job demands from you to take lots of photos
in the field, then you need a rugged tablet
