In this article, we’ll explore what makes Getac laptops stand out, where they are most beneficial, and how Miltec supports Australian businesses in adopting rugged tech with confidence.

What Makes a Laptop “Rugged”?

Rugged laptops are built to endure harsh environments. These include:

• Drops and physical shocks
