A rugged tablet with Windows® operating system: how to be sure this is the right choice for your fleet
A rugged tablet is usually equipped with either Windows or Android® as its operating system. One might think that the two are very similar, but, making a choice between operating systems for your next fleet of rugged devices is pivotal. Both operating systems come with their own strengths and benefits, and there are a couple of factors to keep in mind when making your decision. A rugged Windows tablet offers a couple of helpful features that make it the right choice for many companies.
The advantages of a rugged Windows tablet
When deciding on which rugged tablet to go for, you’ll quickly run into the battle of the operating systems. Most devices run on either Windows OS or Android OS. Between the two, one of the more noticeable differences is the seamless connection Windows provides to other hardware and software. The Windows operating systems are compatible with a huge number of other devices, and this operating system tends to run third party software effortlessly thanks to its many drivers available.
Most functions are completely embedded into a rugged Windows tablet as well, without any other software or peripherals necessary. This makes it a lot easier to integrate a rugged Windows 10 tablet into your fleet, whether that’s replacing older rugged devices or creating a new line up altogether.
Additionally, a big advantage Windows has is that its interface is recognizable for many users. Worldwide, over 1.4 billion devices run on Windows 10, making it easy for workers to find their way around the device and use a rugged Windows 10 tablet on the daily.
A rugged Windows 10 tablet stands out in other areas as well
Not only does a rugged Windows tablet support a ton of devices, software and accessories, it also possesses incredible computing power. This makes a rugged Windows tablet ideal for heavy software use. If you need to process a lot of data and do it fast, Windows is the operating system for you.
And with a Windows tablet from JLT, there’s no need to worry about running out of internal storage space, as our rugged Windows 10 tablets have storage ranging from 64GB to 256GB. If you do need more internal storage space, Windows tablets typically come with several ports that allow you to update your storage or move files off the device effortlessly.
