Tablets that can’t withstand the day-to-day adversities of challenging work environments can result in downtime and lost data. You might feel that putting a premium rugged case on a consumer-grade tablet will keep it safe—but what if you could improve your work experience by investing in a Dell™ Latitude™ 7220 Rugged Extreme Tablet instead?
To find out, we equipped Apple® iPad Pro® 11-inch, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+, and Microsoft Surface Pro 8 tablets with top-rated rugged cases to protect them from damage. Then, we put the Dell Latitude 7220 Rugged Extreme Tablet and those three tablets through durability tests that measured performance in extreme temperatures, multiple drops, and heavy rain conditions. We also measured screen brightness for outdoor viewability.
We found that extreme temperatures had less effect on the Geekbench 5 CPU performance results of the Dell Latitude 7220 Rugged Extreme Tablet compared to those of the consumer-grade devices we tested. It also did better in several of our other day-to-day durability comparisons.
