Getac says its new rugged notebooks offer faster AI-powered processing than ever — and seem to be targeting military and defense customers
Panther Lake, Copilot+ and an Nvidia Blackwell option: here's what Getac's 180 TOPS rugged laptop claim really means.
Getac has introduced two new rugged 14-inch notebooks, the B360X and B360X Pro, designed to deliver faster AI-powered processing. Both models utilize Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake processors and offer Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 connectivity. The B360X Pro is specifically marketed towards defense and military professionals, while the B360X targets public safety, utilities, and industrial manufacturing sectors.
The B360X Pro boasts up to 180 TOPS of AI compute, while the B360X offers about 98 TOPS, both aligning with Microsoft's Copilot+ PC standards. The B360X Pro also features an optional Nvidia RTX PRO 500 graphics card with 294 AI TOPS, which, despite being based on FP4 AI TOPS with sparsity, still falls short of Intel's integrated graphics on the X7 chip.
Both notebooks incorporate MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, and IP66 ratings for robustness, along with features such as a 6ft drop rating, optional salt fog certification, and a 5MP Windows Hello camera.
