When it comes to choosing a rugged tablet, industries often face a trade-off between powerful performance and true portability.
Onerugged’s latest release — the M82A 8-inch rugged tablet powered by Intel® 12th Gen Core™ processors — redefines this balance, delivering exceptional computing performance in a compact, ultra-durable form factor.
In short, the M82A represents Onerugged’s “smallest yet strongest” rugged tablet to date.
As one of the first 8-inch rugged tablets to feature Intel® 12th Gen Core™ processors, the M82A is built for speed and reliability.
With an enhanced active cooling system, it achieves 15W sustained power output, outperforming 10th Gen devices by up to 90% and 8th Gen models by over 140%.
Equipped with Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, 16GB LPDDR4 memory, and up to 1TB SATA & PCIe SSD, the M82A handles complex industrial tasks, real-time analytics, and visual workloads with ease — making it a true powerhouse in a portable form.
At just 850g and 21.6mm thick, the 8-inch M82A strikes the perfect balance between strength and portability.
The front-facing key layout is optimized for one-handed operation, while recessed physical buttons reduce accidental touches during demanding fieldwork.
This thoughtful design ensures that technicians, inspectors, and field operators can perform efficiently anywhere.
Featuring a 1920×1200 full-HD bonded display with 550 nits brightness, the M82A offers outstanding visibility under direct sunlight.
The 10-point capacitive touchscreen supports finger, stylus, glove, and wet-hand input, ensuring accuracy and flexibility in any working condition.
Its air-gap-free laminated screen minimizes reflections and enhances clarity for an uninterrupted visual experience.
The M82A features a 43.32Wh high-capacity integrated lithium battery, delivering up to 7 hours of continuous operation, a 35% improvement over previous models.
Its removable battery design allows quick replacement without workflow interruption — ideal for long shifts or multi-team handovers.
Combined with the Intel hybrid architecture (P-core + E-core) and Windows 11 power optimization, the M82A achieves optimal energy efficiency.
The M82A is one of the first 8-inch rugged tablets to support Wi-Fi 6E, providing access to the 6GHz band for faster, more stable data transmission.
It also supports MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies, tripling data throughput while reducing latency by up to 75%.
With Bluetooth 5.3, the M82A ensures seamless, low-latency connection with industrial peripherals and IoT devices.
Equipped with Gigabit RJ45, USB 3.2 Type-A, and Type-C ports, the M82A excels in high-intensity industrial environments.
It also supports optional modules such as a 2D barcode scanner, NFC, and fingerprint recognition, meeting diverse operational requirements.
Dual high-definition cameras further enhance image capture for documentation and inspection use cases.
The M82A reaches an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, allowing full submersion without performance loss.
It meets MIL-STD-810H standards, passing 26 drops from 1.22 meters on all sides — ensuring unmatched durability in harsh working conditions.
For field professionals, the M82A delivers absolute reliability, even in extreme environments.
The Onerugged M82A redefines what’s possible for compact rugged tablets — combining top-tier performance, portability, and durability in one device.
It is not only Onerugged’s most powerful 8-inch tablet to date but also a benchmark for the next generation of industrial-grade mobile computing.
