- GETAC B360 Plus uses Intel Core Ultra Processors, up to 32 GB RAM and ARC Integrated Graphics
- Includes built-in AI acceleration with Intel AI Boost, which delivers up to 48 top performance
- Have a 13.3-inch 1400-nit touch screen with sunlight-readable technology and capacitive input
Robust devices are typically defined by their ability to survive harsh conditions, not their computing power.
The GetAC B360 Plus is trying to challenge this expectation by introducing AI-acceleration and advanced specifications in a fully robust form factor, but the practical benefits of this combination may not be as clear as branding suggests.
At the core of the B360 Plus is Intel’s new core Ultra series with options ranging from Ultra 5 to Ultra 7 and up to 32 GB LPDDR5X memory.
AI capacities meet robust expectations
Built-in AI acceleration through Intel AI Boost requires up to 48 tops of performance, paired with ARC-integrated graphics.
Although these specifications may appear impressive how good such AI capacities are translated into the real world Edge calculation tasks in harsh field environments remain an open question.
This laptop is designed for physical resistance and meets MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G and IP66 standards, which means it can handle drops, salt fog and wide temperature fluctuations.
GetAC also offers optional ANSI/UL 121201 certification for dangerous areas, which means it fits square within the expectations of a best robust portable candidate.
The GetAC B360 Plus comes with a 13.3-inch screen that supports 1400 nits brightness and is optimized for outdoor use.
It also has a life support double battery system that allows hot swapping without shutting down the device.
Connection options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Optional 4G and 5G, GPS and a number of physical gates, including Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.0 and even older connectors such as VGA and Series.
The laptop also comes with a double SIM SUBPORT and a 1D/2D stroke code reader, supported by GetAC’s barcode control software.
While the barcode scanner can be convenient, regular robust tablet users may still prefer dedicated devices with simpler, more focused roles.
Getac also added security features such as TPM 2.0, optional biometric approval and company software such as absolute persistence and safe ending point.
These additions suggest an IT-centered case, but again it may be excessive for users who simply need a machine that does not fail in the rain or dust.
The B360 Plus is an ambitious attempt to bridge robust hardware and high performance computing, but whether the two belong together is not yet to be seen.
At the time of writing, there is no word about pricing, but hopefully a device will be available for review in the coming months.
