Getac Inc., a leading manufacturer of rugged computers, is introducing the T800 fully rugged tablet.

At less than 9×6 inches in size with 8.1-inch display, the tablet will target today’s mobile workforce.

Combining the latest in processor and wireless technology with an ultra-rugged exterior and Getac’s SnapBack add-on accessories, the Getac T800 can be used in extreme working environments, says the company.

They include conditions found in the utilities, military, field service, public safety and transportation sectors. The new T800 runs Windows 8.1 Professional.

“Interest in rugged tablets has never been higher,” said Rowina Lee, president of Getac. “We designed the new compact T800 rugged tablet with the mobile worker in mind.”

The new T800 rugged tablet will be available for ordering beginning June 2 with the first units shipping in July. And 4G LTE network certified units will be shipping in September.

The T800 price starts at $1,599 and the 4G LTE wireless certification at $1,999.

Getac’s business includes rugged notebooks, rugged tablets, and rugged handheld devices for military, police, fire, utility, insurance, and field-service customers.
