Hardware Spotlight: Zebra ET4x Rugged Tablets
Looking for a new enterprise tablet? The rugged Zebra ET4x range is built for business, designed to handle anything you can throw at it—literally.
Why the ET4x?
For some office-based businesses, consumer-grade tablets are fine. But if your devices are being used in warehouses, workshops, or vehicle fleets, you’re going to want a tablet that can take a lot more punishment. The Zebra ET4x range is designed specifically to operate where your average tablet can’t.

Which ET4x do I need?
Do you need WWAN connectivity?
If you need to be able to pop a SIM card in your device for out-and-about field use, you’ll want a Zebra ET45; but if the tablet is going to stay in an area with consistent Wi-Fi, like your warehouse or sales floor, then the Zebra ET40 will do the trick.
What screen size would you like?
8” tablets are great for easy mobility on-the-go, especially for mounting in vehicles. If you need to be able to easily read a lot of dense data on the screen, though, you’ll probably want to jump up to the 10”.
How much computing power and storage do you need?
The premium models have a whopping 8GB of RAM—equivalent to many laptops—and 128GB of storage space. If you’re running fewer or lower-spec applications, the more affordable base spec is still powerful, at 4GB RAM with 64GB of storage.
