Popular Tablets
ET4X Series
Consumer-grade tablets might appear to be a cost-effective option for your business because the price is right. But without the right features, savings can quickly turn into substantial hidden costs — you may need to purchase a case to increase durability, a scanner for intense scanning tasks, and more frequent device replacements. Introducing the perfect solution — the ET40/ET45 — the right-priced rugged enterprise tablets with all the features you need to do business, right out of the box.
ET6X Series
Put these tablets to work in your most punishing environments. They’re built like a tank, ready to handle the dust, dirt and grime in manufacturing plants and warehouses; life in the freezer; constant vibrations in forklifts and other vehicles. These tablets can be whatever you need them to be—a tablet, a laptop alternative and a vehicle mount computer. When it comes to features, these workhorses are loaded with processing power, battery power, data capture power, all the latest wireless connectivity options and more.
ET8X Series
As first responders, field service technicians and manufacturing line workers, your work provides the essentials that are fundamental to a thriving community. You need a mobile device you can trust to perform flawlessly, anywhere, so you can too. Empower your best work with Zebra's new ET80 and ET85 Rugged 2-in-1 Windows Tablets. Available as a standalone tablet, or with a detachable keyboard to provide a true 2-in-1, the ET80 and ET85 offer the flexibility your workforce demands.
Benefits of Tablets
Versatile
The versatile form factor of tablets allows them to function in or switch between nearly any device role. Their compact size, and portability make them a great substitute in environments where a laptop would be too bulky. And the numerous mounting options and accessories allow them to be used in a variety of applications.
OS Options
Modern tablets will run Android for Enterprise or even full Windows in certain cases. This allows a more seamless application experience across devices for your front line workers. Regardless of what device form factor your employee is using, the "look and feel" of the application will be very similar.
Long Battery Life
Tablets offer a big advantage in screen size and battery life. If your applications could benefit from additional screen real estate or you need a battery that will last through a full day in the field, then tablets could be an appealing choice.
