Dell Pro Rugged 10 and 12 rugged tablets has Intel Core Ultra and SSD

Dell has introduced two new rugged Windows tablets, the Pro Rugged 10 and Pro Rugged 12. Both devices are designed for professionals working in harsh or extreme environments and are positioned as the lightest fully rugged 10- and 12-inch tablets. The new products are equipped with modern Intel Core Ultra 200V processors with an integrated neural processing unit (NPU), which provides local processing of artificial intelligence tasks directly on the device.

Both models belong to the Copilot+ PC class, which means support for local AI features of Windows 11 Pro. The tablets have a system of two hot-swappable batteries, so the device will not require shutdown when changing the battery. The IP66 rating ensures resistance to dust and high-pressure water jets, and compliance with military standards MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-461G confirms resistance to drops, vibrations and electromagnetic interference.

The older Pro Rugged 12 model weighs 1.31 kg and is equipped with a 12-inch touchscreen with FHD + resolution and brightness up to 1200 nits. The younger version of the Pro Rugged 10 weighs 1.04 kg and has a display with a brightness of up to 1000 nits. Both screens are made in a 16:10 format, support operation with gloves and in the rain, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protects against scratches. Configurations with support for 5G and Wi-Fi 7 are also available.
