The Dell Latitude 7030 Rugged Extreme Tablet is a 10-inch rugged tablet with a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, up to 32 GB of memory, up to 2 TB of NVMe SSD storage, Wi-Fi, and Windows 11 Pro. The closest Thinvent alternative is the Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel Core i5-1240P, which runs the same Intel processor generation and has up to 64 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage. Thinvent's Treo is a mini PC rather than a tablet, so it suits fixed installations.
