The Getac ZX80 is an 8-inch fully rugged Android tablet built on the Qualcomm QCS6490 octa-core processor, with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. Thinvent does not make a tablet. The closest Thinvent alternatives are the IPC1 Industrial PC range, which has fanless, compact systems on Intel and AMD processors for buyers who need a rugged, always-on computer rather than a handheld device.
