Rugged tablet · workshop pickThe one that survives the workshop
The standout pick for a dusty environment or workshop. It is sealed from the factory to IP68, fully dust-tight (the IP6X part is what matters here) and water-resistant, and it is fanless, so there is nothing actively pulling wood dust or grit inside. The touchscreen has a glove and wet mode that copes well with a dust film or sawdust-y fingers.
It runs a proper Exynos 1380 chip rather than the sluggish MediaTek parts in cheaper rugged tablets, gets real Android security updates, and has a user-replaceable battery, so a tired battery means a swap and not a new tablet.
If your team works anywhere that a normal tablet would not last the year, this is the one to buy. Everywhere else, the cheaper tablets in the catalogue will do the job for less.
IP68 rugged Android tablet with LTE, built to survive the van, the site and the workshop.
Consumer tablets choke on dust, fade in the sun and crack on the first drop. The Active5 is built for the opposite.
Fully sealed against the fine dust that kills ports and fans on normal tablets.
No fan means nothing actively sucking wood dust and grit into the device.
Responds through gloves, a dust film, damp or sawdust-covered fingers.
Exynos 1380 keeps CRMit, photos and maps snappy through a full day.
Real, ongoing Android security updates, not abandoned after launch.
Carry a spare and keep going; replace it instead of replacing the tablet.
