At 1.27kg, the 7230 Rugged Extreme is a powerful tablet, boosting performance with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ up to i7processors with integrated Iris Xe graphics.

There is also a range of new and enhanced accessories that are built to match the ruggedness of the tablet and support its use in a broad range of environments. Among these accessories are a new detachable keyboard, active pen to further enhance screen interactivity, rotating hand and shoulder strap built with durable and cleanable materials, magnetic mount that enables users to attach the tablet to any metallic wall or surface, and a rigid handle that supports ease of mobility that is also reversable according to preference and ergonomics.
