Innovation
Durabook’s dedication to R&D and design, commitment to quality, and focus on creating innovative solutions have led to significant achievements. Notable successes include the global deployment of its fanless, 8-inch R8 Rugged Tablet for geological measurement applications.
The introduction of two rugged Artificial Intelligence (AI) PCs, the Z14I Fully Rugged Laptop and the S14I Semi-rugged Laptop, showcases Durabook’s ability to support powerful, dynamic, and evolving work at the edge. These AI-ready laptops are equipped with the Intel Core™ Ultra CPU platform.
