Getac unveils world’s first rugged Copilot+ PC tablet with 48 TOPS AI power

Getac has unveiled the F120, which it claims to be the world’s first fully rugged Copilot+ PC in a tablet form factor, designed to withstand extreme conditions while running advanced AI workloads. The device combines battlefield-grade durability with cutting-edge AI processing power, targeting professionals in industries where equipment failure isn’t an option and advanced computing capabilities are increasingly essential.

What you should know: The F120 meets Microsoft’s strict Copilot+ PC standards while maintaining military-grade ruggedness certifications.

• Built around Intel’s Core Ultra 200V Series processor with an Intel AI Boost NPU (neural processing unit) delivering up to 48 TOPS of AI processing power.
• Certified to MIL-STD-810H and IP66 standards, capable of surviving 6-foot drops and operating in temperatures from -29°C to 63°C.
• Features a 12.2-inch LumiBond display with up to 1,200 nits brightness for sunlight readability.

In plain English: TOPS stands for “trillions of operations per second”—a measure of how fast the device can process AI tasks. The 48 TOPS performance means this tablet can run sophisticated AI applications locally without needing an internet connection, much like having a powerful AI assistant built directly into the device.

Key technical specifications: The F120 exceeds baseline Copilot+ PC requirements with premium configuration options.

• Offers up to 32GB LPDDR5X memory and 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD storage, surpassing the 16GB RAM and 256GB storage minimums.
• Includes Windows Hello facial recognition for secure access combined with operational efficiency.
• LifeSupport hot-swappable batteries enable continuous operation during extended field deployments.

Why this matters: The convergence of rugged computing and AI capabilities addresses growing demand for edge AI processing in harsh environments.

• Industries like automotive diagnostics, utilities, and public safety can now deploy AI-powered analysis tools in conditions where traditional tablets would fail.
• The 48 TOPS NPU performance enables demanding AI tasks to run locally rather than requiring cloud connectivity, crucial for remote operations.
• Starting at $3,079, this represents a significant leap from basic rugged tablets to sophisticated AI-enabled computing platforms designed for extreme conditions.

The bigger picture: Getac also introduced the V120, a fully rugged convertible laptop that complements the F120 tablet.

• The V120 combines an Intel Core Ultra 200H processor with Arc graphics and a flexible hinge design.
• Features 1,000 nits display brightness and builds on lessons learned from the company’s V110 line.
• Together, these devices signal Getac’s push to integrate AI capabilities across its entire rugged computing portfolio.
