Ruggedized Tablet PCs meet a very specific need and for that reason, there's been a separate chart set up for them.

Although the prices of these units are considerably higher in cost then other Tablet PCs, the components that used in the rugged Tablets make these units almost immune to adverse weather conditions, hard use and being dropped. 

Police departments, military, fire, ambulance workers, forestry personnel, factory employees can all benefit from using a Tablet PC.

Because of the secondary market, we have not removed discontinued models but have marked them as such.
