Dell claims that this removable Windows tablet is also
suitable for indoor use under the sun, snowmobiles, extreme heat, cold bites,
and anything else that nature can provide. Even better, the sturdy cover of the
tablet protects the components, including the excellent Full HD touch screen
and hot swappable batteries. Considering that the competition demands from
companies like Panasonic and Getac have received huge premiums, the price of
the whole package is surprising. This makes our Dell Latitude 7212 Rugged
Extreme notebook the new customer choice.
The Latitude 7212 is not really a laptop. Like the Panasonic
Toughbook 33, it received the editor's Choice Award. Dell is actually a
detachable Windows tablet, and its shape may be more suitable for the raw tasks
that its owner usually performs. With optional keyboard housing, the Latitude
7212 can collect information from the faulty transformer's live image or
capture data from a remote weather station and be ready to quickly report the
keyboard when you return to the car.
In the ideal world, the keyboard would be included instead of
the expensive $ 373 gadget, but the total price is still much lower than the
price you would pay for a certain laptop (we checked the Toughbook 33 for
4099), for example) we do not complain. Some expensive but possibly additional
accessories that you can order for the Latitude 7212 include active pens ($
36.46); stand ($ 73.85); battery charger ($ 174.57); chest strap ($ 45.80);
shoulder strap ($ 45.80); rigid handling ($ 174.57); Desktop dock ($ 326.24);
Scanner module for bar codes and strips ($ 399.63); and modules with Ethernet
and two additional USB ports ($ 232,77).
Our evaluation unit is only equipped with soles and
keyboards, which means it is similar to the corps of other disassembled tablets
that we tested in the PC lab as it has Can be supported on the desktop to use
the same traditional as you do. The rack is very solid, which means you will
not slip or bounce when you touch the screen at almost any angle. With the
connection of the stand and keyboard housing, the device itself weighs in at
4.98 pounds or 3.2 pounds. This is by no means lightweight - most Windows
tablets can be disassembled for less than 3 pounds - but it is not particularly
in the tough competition of the Latitude 7212. Toughbook 33 weighs 3, 37 pounds
and no keyboard, while the Xplore XSlate R12 weighs just 3.09 pounds, while the
keyboard stands at 4.09 pounds.
When you add the 8 x 0.96 x 12.3 inch (HWD) gauge of the
Latitude 7212, the overall feel is reassuringly weighted, thus making you
comfortable carrying it anywhere. Even the iPad with the most solid Otter Box
defender will not be invincible like this. Of course, the weight of the
Latitude 7212 is a placebo because the real protection comes from the way the
Dell's shell design and components. Outside is a black hard plastic case
reinforced with rugged corners, similar to the oversized version of the
triangular base, which saves photos to album pages. The edge is also very
elastic and slightly elastic, meaning that if you drop the Latitude 7212, it
will bounce.
When it comes to water droplets, the tablet is designed to
meet the MIL-STD-810G's durability standards. According to Dell's test, it can
be converted into the following features: reduced from 4 feet when turned off,
or 3 feet when used. It; blowing rain, dust and sand; and there are explosive
changes in atmospheric pressure, vibration, shock and extreme temperature
changes. It should be noted that if you drop it with the keyboard is connected,
the two components can be separated, this happens twice in my three drop test.
The operating temperature range extends from minus 20 degrees to 145 degrees,
and you can store your tablet from minus 60 degrees to 160 degrees. Dell even
says that the Latitude 7212 can withstand electromagnetic interference, covered
by separate MIL-STD-461F standards.
Despite Dell's standards, certifications and internal
testing, the Latitude 7212's warranty options are not different from any
commercial PCs provided by the company. In other words, you will also need to
pay an additional fee to add incidental damage to the warranty period covered.
If you do this, Dell will repair the damage caused by accidental falls,
overflows, broken screens, etc. This is the same method as many rugged PC
manufacturers to protect the damage, Why exactly do we test the tablet's
performance under extreme conditions such as rain and wind instead of trying to
replicate the MIL-STD-810G test lab on a PC?
The 11.6-inch touchscreen is bright and easy to look outside
on a dreamy afternoon on Tuesday afternoon, whether it is raining or for a
brief period of direct sunlight. It is polarized and protected with Corning
Gorilla Glass and is designed for the gloved hands and stylus. The passive
stylus can be inserted into the slot on the back of the tablet when not in use.
In the mid-1950s, the temperature was not right. When I used the Latitude 7212
gloves, it was not cold enough, but when I touched the screen, even if it was
dyed by rain, the stylus would be perfect. However, I'm not impressed with the
touchpad. After about 10 minutes, it becomes unusable in the rain, and although
it dries up and reaches its maximum sensitivity, it still looks very bad. At
least the backlit keyboard is as rugged as a laptop and a Latitude tablet.
