In industrial mobility, professionals often face a dilemma—large rugged tablets offer strong performance but are inconvenient to carry, while smaller devices often lack computing power. The M82A, Onerugged’s smallest rugged tablet flagship, breaks this long-standing limitation by combining a compact 8-inch body with high-performance Intel® Core™ processors.
As one of the most advanced smallest rugged tablets on the market, the M82A delivers workstation-level capabilities in a portable, field-ready device engineered for harsh environments.
Unlike most mini rugged tablets that rely on low-power chips, the M82A is equipped with Intel® Core™ i5-1235U / i7-1255U processors—the same architecture used in modern business laptops.
This gives technicians, engineers, and field operators the ability to handle:
High-load industrial applications
Real-time data visualization
GIS and mapping tasks
Multi-system diagnostics
Complex engineering calculations
The M82A proves that a compact device can still deliver full Windows performance without compromise.
Despite its powerful hardware, the M82A maintains a lightweight and compact 8-inch frame, making it ideal for field tasks that require long hours of mobility.
Its ergonomic one-hand grip, narrow bezels, and optimized weight distribution help workers:
Move easily through tight industrial spaces
Operate in warehouses, logistics sites, and outdoors
Carry the device for extended shifts without fatigue
The M82A maximizes efficiency where portability matters most.
Heavy workloads typically cause small tablets to overheat. The M82A solves this with its next-generation Cyclone™ Cooling System, which enhances airflow efficiency, reduces thermal build-up, and maintains stable performance even in demanding environments.
This advanced thermal structure ensures:
Sustained high-performance computing
Zero throttling during extended use
Stable operation under intense industrial workloads
For users who rely on real-time data accuracy, temperature control is mission-critical—and the M82A delivers it flawlessly.
The M82A carries full IP67 protection and has passed MIL-STD-810H military-grade testing, ensuring resilience against:
Water immersion & heavy rain
Dusty industrial environments
Repeated drops and shocks
Extreme temperature fluctuations
Vibrations from vehicles or machinery
These rugged features make the M82A suitable for:
Construction and surveying
Oil & gas inspection
Utilities and energy field work
Public safety and emergency response
Outdoor research and mapping
It is built for users who cannot afford downtime.
Field professionals require long-lasting power. The M82A integrates a 43.32Wh Kunlun™ battery, offering extended endurance for continuous field operations.
Users can expect:
Full-shift battery life
Fast charging support
Stable power output in extreme temperatures
Whether used outdoors, in remote sites, or in cold-weather environments, the M82A maintains dependable performance.
With its combination of ultra-compact size, advanced processing power, industrial-grade durability, and long battery life, the M82A defines the next generation of smallest rugged tablets.
It is designed for professionals who require:
Ultra-portable mobility
Rugged durability
Reliable all-day operation
From industrial automation to field inspection and outdoor engineering, the M82A ensures precise and efficient work anytime, anywhere.

An 8-inch rugged tablet like the M82A offers a unique balance of ultra-portability and field-ready durability. Users in logistics, field service, utilities, and inspection work can operate the device with one hand, access tools faster, and reduce fatigue during long outdoor shifts. It enables mobility in tight spaces, vehicles, and vertical workflows where laptops are inconvenient.
The M82A supports advanced modules—including high-accuracy GNSS, professional barcode scanning, and optional RFID/UHF—making it ideal for mapping, surveying, and geolocation-intensive applications. Its display is optimized for outdoor visibility, allowing users to read data clearly even under direct sunlight.
Its lightweight design enables continuous mobility, allowing field workers to complete inspections, documentation, and reporting without returning to the workstation. Combined with high computing efficiency, it reduces task switching time and supports real-time decision-making, directly improving daily productivity in remote or fast-paced environments.
Industries that require constant mobility, hands-free operation, and environmental reliability see the most benefit, including:
Utilities & energy field teams
Transportation and logistics providers
Oil & gas inspection crews
Outdoor engineering and surveying teams
Warehousing and inventory management
Public safety and environmental monitoring
