With its new generation of B360 laptops, Getac sets a new standard for fully rugged computing performance

The next-generation B360 and B360 Pro feature powerful 5th Gen Intel Core i7/i12 processors, plus optional Nvidia GeForce graphics controller, delivering benchmark performance up to 2,8x faster than the previous generation^[1]. Both devices offer Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, as well as optional 4G LTE and 5G sub-6, to provide the connectivity needed for remote workers.

These two new laptops offer Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, as well as optional 4G LTE and 5G sub-6, to provide the connectivity needed for remote workers.

The new B360 is designed for demanding field-based industries, such as public safety, field utilities and manufacturing, while the new B360 Pro is ideally suited for defense professionals.

Improved specifications for higher performance

The next-generation B360 and B360 Pro laptops feature a wide range of updates and enhancements to simplify complex computing tasks, even in demanding conditions.

Key features include a 12th Gen Intel Core i5/i7 processor with integrated Intel Iris Xe co-processor, for remarkable performance, responsiveness and visuals. A standard 256GB PCIe NGMe SSD (with option up to 4TB) provides expanded storage, while the 13,3-inch FHD LumiBond® display with Getac Sunlight Readable technology (1400 nits) and capacitive touchscreen allows for maintain productivity 24/24.

The B360 Pro goes even further, with an optional 1650GB Nvidia GeForce GTX4 graphics card, as well as an optional multimedia bay that can accommodate a third SATA SSD (for a storage capacity of up to 6TB) and a third battery or DVD player as needed.

In the real world, this makes complex tasks such as performance monitoring and quality control in the manufacturing industry faster, easier and more reliable. For public safety and defense professionals, the rapid analysis capabilities of the B360 and B360 Pro can be used to improve situational awareness and data sharing up and down the chain of command.

True mobile connectivity

The new B360 and B360 Pro also offer expanded connectivity options, allowing users to stay connected even in large or isolated environments. These options include Wi-Fi 6^E AX211, 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.3 as standard, plus optional 4G LTE or 5G Sub-6 with built-in GPS.

This high level of connectivity plays an increasingly essential role in the daily activity of many professionals in the field. For example, gas engineers who answer calls must reliably connect to the base directly from customers' homes, wherever they are, in order to provide high levels of service. Likewise, maintenance workers responsible for preventative maintenance often must obtain drawings, generate purchase orders, check inventory, and even coordinate with colleagues via live video chat to quickly resolve issues on-site.

Maximum productivity in the field

The new B360 and B360 Pro offer even greater versatility in the field compared to previous models. New features include improved USB 3.2 port, Thunderbolt port^TM 4 Type-C, an HDMI 2.0 port, as well as the addition of a mini-SIM card slot. Both devices also feature two hot-swappable batteries, while the B360 Pro has the option to add a third battery if necessary.

These features are designed to help large field service teams maintain productivity levels 24/24 by allowing them to connect to a wide range of existing infrastructure without the need for external adapters. Having multiple hot-swappable batteries as standard also helps prevent wasted time when team members wait for devices to charge in the middle of their shift.

Reliable, portable and secure

Like all Getac devices, the new B360 and B360 Pro are built from the ground up for excellent reliability in the field. Both devices are MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G and IP66 certified, and withstand drops of up to 1,8 meters.

Despite this sturdy build quality, they weigh 2,32kg, which is impressive. Their compact format allows them to be easily transported in the field or stored in a compartment when traveling in a vehicle.

Additionally, both devices come with many advanced data security features. These include a range of multi-factor authentication options (Windows Hello Webcom, HF RFID, smart card and fingerprint readers), optional Absolute Persistence software and replaceable PCIe NVMe SSD storage by the user, so that sensitive data remains protected at all times.

Available as a complete Getac Select solution

The next generation of B360 and B360 Pro is available as part of a comprehensive Getac Select® solution, which includes all the hardware, software, accessories and peripherals needed to solve a range of industry-specific challenges from out of the box. This solution includes a selection of secure workstations and vehicle mounts, as well as exclusive Getac Driving Safety Utility, Device Monitoring System and VGPS Utility software.

Both devices are also backed by Getac's industry-leading 3-year Bumper-to-Bumper warranty, with accidental damage cover as standard, for added peace of mind.

“The next generation of our B360 and B360 Pro devices is designed to help customers achieve even higher levels of productivity within their workforce, both on and off the field.”, says Rick Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation. “The combination of a fully rugged design, powerful specifications, extensive connectivity and a compact design helps ensure that difficult tasks are carried out effortlessly, whatever the situation, location or weather conditions.
