Getac ZX80W Fully Rugged Windows Tablet

WINDOWS FIELD COMPUTING. WITHOUT THE BULK.

The Windows environment your team depends on—now in an ultra-portable 8-inch fully rugged tablet.

The Getac ZX80W is designed for organizations that need Windows capabilities in places where traditional computers are simply too large, too fragile, or too dependent on a power outlet.

At just 1.3 lbs, the ZX80W combines Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, AI-ready edge processing, a sunlight-readable 8-inch display, flexible wireless connectivity, and fully rugged construction in a compact platform built for demanding field operations.

TAKE WINDOWS WHERE THE WORK ACTUALLY HAPPENS

For years, organizations that depended on Windows-based workflows often had to choose between full Windows functionality and true handheld mobility.

The ZX80W changes that equation.

Built on an energy-efficient ARM architecture, the ZX80W runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC inside a compact, fanless chassis. That gives organizations a highly mobile Windows platform designed specifically for field deployments where size, power consumption, heat, durability, and uptime all matter.

Instead of sending workers back to a vehicle, workstation, or office to access important information, the ZX80W helps put critical applications and data directly into their hands.

A better fit for:

  • Field inspections and asset management
  • Mobile GIS and mapping
  • Utility maintenance and meter operations
  • Transportation and fleet workflows
  • Warehouse and material handling
  • Electronic logging applications
  • UAV and drone operations
  • Mobile data collection
  • Remote assistance
  • Defense and mission-critical field applications

The goal isn’t simply to make a computer smaller. It’s to make Windows more practical at the point of work.

WINDOWS 11. BUILT FOR LONG-TERM FIELD DEPLOYMENTS.

Familiar tools. A more purpose-built platform.

The ZX80W runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, giving organizations access to the Windows ecosystem while providing the stability required for dedicated operational devices.

Getac describes the platform as feature-locked with a long-term security update lifecycle, helping reduce disruptive operating-system changes on devices deployed for specialized field applications. Microsoft lists a 10-year servicing lifecycle for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024.

That can make the ZX80W particularly attractive for organizations deploying devices across fleets, facilities, remote sites, or other environments where consistency is more valuable than frequent feature changes.

What about existing Windows applications?

Windows 11 on ARM supports ARM-native software as well as emulation for many existing x86 and x64 Windows applications. For deployments involving specialized software, drivers, scanners, peripherals, or legacy systems, compatibility should be verified before rollout.

MORE INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE

Process more where the work happens.

The ZX80W isn’t only compact—it is also designed for a new generation of intelligent field applications.

Its Qualcomm® QCS6490 platform includes a 6th Generation Qualcomm AI Engine and Hexagon™ NPU delivering up to 13 TOPS of neural processing performance.

That edge-processing capability can help applications perform tasks such as recognition, analytics, and automation directly on the device instead of depending entirely on cloud processing.

Why does that matter?

FASTER FIELD DECISIONS

Process information closer to the point where it is collected instead of continually sending data back and forth to the cloud.

LESS CLOUD DEPENDENCY

On-device processing can be particularly valuable in locations where connectivity is limited, inconsistent, or unavailable.

SMARTER FIELD WORKFLOWS

AI-capable applications can support emerging workflows involving visual recognition, predictive asset management, inspection, UAV control, and intelligent automation.

Getac specifically identifies applications including UAV flight control, predictive asset management, and electronic logging among potential ZX80W use cases.

BUILT AROUND THE PERSON CARRYING IT

A rugged device doesn’t help productivity if employees don’t want to carry it.

At just 9.21″ × 5.89″ × 0.69″ and approximately 1.3 lbs, the ZX80W gives crews a smaller alternative to traditional full-size Windows tablets.

Its compact design makes it better suited for workers who are constantly moving between equipment, vehicles, job sites, facilities, or other locations throughout a shift.

Designed for hands-on work

The ZX80W includes:

  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Three programmable tablet buttons
  • Optional digitizer support
  • Optional stylus
  • Hand strap options
  • Rotating hand strap with kickstand
  • Shoulder strap option
  • Optional 1D/2D barcode reader

The result is a device that can adapt to how the employee works instead of forcing the employee to adapt to the computer.


RUGGED ISN’T AN ACCESSORY. IT’S BUILT IN.

Because field devices eventually get dropped.

Consumer devices protected by cases can still leave organizations vulnerable to cracked screens, damaged ports, environmental exposure, and unexpected downtime.

The ZX80W is engineered as a rugged device from the beginning.

  • MIL-STD-810H CERTIFIED
    Designed and tested for operation under demanding environmental conditions.
  • IP67 CERTIFIED
    Provides protection against dust and water ingress. Getac states that the device can withstand submersion in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
  • 6-FOOT DROP RESISTANT
    Designed to withstand the kinds of accidental drops that happen during real field work.
  • WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE
    Rated for operation from -20°F to 145°F (-29°C to 63°C).
  • VIBRATION RESISTANT
    Built for mobile and vehicle-based environments where constant movement and vibration are part of the job.
  • Rain. Dust. Drops. Vibration. Heat. Cold.
    The ZX80W is built for environments where ordinary tablets become liabilities.

A SCREEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE OUTSIDE

Because a mobile device isn’t very useful if sunlight makes it unreadable.

The ZX80W features an 8-inch WUXGA 1920 × 1200 display with 1,000 nits of brightness and Getac sunlight-readable technology.

That helps workers clearly view:

  • Maps and GIS information
  • Work orders
  • Equipment diagrams
  • Inspection forms
  • Inventory information
  • Photographs
  • Operational dashboards
  • Transportation and logistics data

without having to retreat into a vehicle or constantly search for shade.

The ZX80W can also be configured with a dual-mode touchscreen supporting both multi-touch and digitizer input.


KEEP FIELD TEAMS CONNECTED

Work doesn’t always happen within range of the company Wi-Fi network.

The ZX80W provides multiple connectivity options designed for mobile operations:

  • Wi-Fi 6E
    High-speed connectivity at facilities, offices, warehouses, and supported job sites.
  • Optional 4G LTE or 5G Sub-6
    Maintain connectivity when workers leave the building or move between job sites.
  • Dual SIM Capability
    A physical Nano-SIM plus eSIM option provides additional flexibility for mobile deployments.
  • Dedicated L1/L5 GPS
    Supports precise positioning for location-dependent field applications.
  • Bluetooth 5.2
    Connect compatible wireless peripherals and accessories.

Whether the device is in a utility truck, warehouse, airport, field site, or remote operating environment, the ZX80W is designed to keep data within reach.


BUILT FOR THE SHIFT. NOT THE OUTLET.

Power management can become an operational problem when employees spend the majority of their day away from a desk.

The ZX80W combines efficient ARM architecture with Getac’s LifeSupport battery-swappable technology, giving organizations more flexibility around extended field use.

Configurations include an internal battery plus options for:

  • STANDARD SWAPPABLE BATTERY
    4,990mAh typical capacity
  • HIGH-CAPACITY BATTERY
    9,980mAh typical capacity
  • MULTI-BAY CHARGING
    Dual-bay and eight-bay charging options are available for larger deployments.

Instead of taking the device out of service simply because the battery is depleted, teams can build a battery strategy around the way their operation actually runs.

That can be especially useful for multi-shift, fleet, warehouse, transportation, utility, and remote-field deployments.
