Here, at Group Mobile, we feel it’s important for our customers to be able to make the most educated decision possible when purchasing new computers. We are also aware, with such a large variety of computers on the market, that it can be overwhelming at times determining which computer fits your situation best. Group Mobile’s Rugged Computer Guide will teach you about the different types of rugged computers and the features that make them different from conventional, commercial-grade computers; as well as other considerations such as vehicle docking and mounting, integrated wireless and cellular broadband, GPS, cameras, bar code scanners, backlit keyboards and other capabilities that are often mandatory in mobile or outdoor computing.
Group Mobile’s Rugged Computer Comparison Charts offer side-by-side specification comparisons of the brands and models we carry based on rugged rating and form factor. Have a few you are interested in? Choose the appropriate category to view our product comparisons.
