Getac B360 rugged laptop review: Bright 1400-nit touchscreen
The Getac B360 is a fully-rugged 13.3-inch laptop that integrates many of the modern connectivity features and upgrades we've come to expect from consumer devices. It's the first rugged laptop in our database for this particular size class since most rugged models are typically 14-inches or larger. We recommend checking out the official product page here or the full specifications sheet below for all available options beyond the one unit we have here for review.

Case
Despite offering a smaller screen size than the 14-inch Panasonic Toughbook FZ-55 or Getac S410, the B360 is actually both heavier and thicker than either model. The B360 is fully rugged whereas the others are semi-rugged, however, which explains the discrepancy. The chassis passes MIL-STD 810H and IP66 certifications.
Connectivity
Unique to the B360 are the two M.2 2280 compartments accessible along the left edge of the system which replace the 2.5-inch compartment on the larger S410. Most of the other ports are along the rear of the system and can be difficult to reach especially since they are protected by small covers that are difficult to grip.
Communication
Webcam
A 1080p webcam comes standard to be of higher resolution than the usual 720p webcams on most other laptops. Colors remain subpar and IR is optional for Windows Hello support.
Maintenance
Getac does not recommend removing the bottom panel for any sort of servicing or upgrades. The fact that the bottom is secured by no less than 34 (!) screws is already a hint that the manufacturer is discouraging end-user tinkering.
Accessories and Warranty
The base packaging includes a passive stylus pen, the two removable batteries, and the usual paperwork and AC adapter. A 3-year limited warranty comes standard.
Additional accessories are available which take advantage of the proprietary pins on the bottom of the unit.
Input Devices
Display
The manufacturer claims a brightness of 1400 nits to be one of the brightest laptops regardless of category which we can confirm with our own independent measurements. Perhaps more impressive is the relatively deep contrast ratio of ~1500:1 which is again better than on most other rugged models.
Three key drawbacks to the display are its limited color reproduction, slow black-white response times, and presence of pulse-width modulation at all brightness levels. The first two aren't issues as the B360 isn't meant for professional photo editing or gaming, but the latter can be troublesome for users who may be sensitive to flickering lights.

Color space is narrow at just 72 percent of sRGB to be unfit for most graphics editing.
Color temperature is very warm out of the box to the point where average deltaE values can approach double digits. Calibrating the panel addresses this issue for significantly more accurate colors especially at lower saturation levels.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 870 Hz | ≤ 100 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 870 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 870 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
The display is viewable under most outdoor conditions, but users will still want to avoid direct sunlight to limit glare and washed out colors.
Performance
Testing Conditions
Our unit was set to Extreme mode prior to running any benchmarks for the highest possible scores. Users should become familiar with the pre-installed G-Manager software as many Getac-specific customization features are toggled here.
Processor
Multi-thread CPU performance is about 20 to 30 percent slower than the average laptop in our database equipped with the same Core i7-10710U processor. This is not uncommon for rugged laptops likely to boost overall stability and reliability at the cost of some raw performance.

Storage Devices
Up to two M.2 drives are supported (1x PCIe + 1x SATA). The second drive, however, is an optional upgrade. Both slots are accessible via two orange latches along the left edge of the chassis. These removable modules connect to the laptop via USB-C meaning you can technically connect these modules to other laptops, but Getac doesn't recommend it. Our specific review unit comes with a 512 GB Lite-On CA5-8D512 PCIe3 x4 NVMe SSD.

Temperature
Surface temperatures aren't an issue since you have an ULV CPU in a chassis that's at least 2x or 3x thicker than most Ultrabooks. We're able to record hot spots of 34 C and 42 C on the top and bottom surfaces when running demanding loads.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 33.4 °C / 92 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 42.6 °C / 109 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 23.2 °C / 74 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 24.2 °C / 75.6 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.7 °C / 81.9 F (+3.5 °C / 6.3 F).

Stress Test
When running Prime95, CPU clock rates would boost to 3 GHz for just the first few seconds until hitting a core temperature of 77 C. Clock rates would then fall and stabilize at just 1.5 GHz and 62 C, respectively. The mid 60 C range appears to be the sweet spot for this system when running demanding loads.
Running on battery power will not impact performance. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 7884 and 1906 points, respectively, compared to 7765 and 1913 points when on mains.

Power Consumption
Idling on desktop will consume about 5 W on the lowest brightness setting or up to 13 W if on the highest brightness setting. The 8 W difference is higher than on a typical Ultrabook since the Getac display can be significantly brighter.
Running medium or high loads will demand about 36 W to 40 W to be comparable to most laptops running on newer 11th gen Core processors despite the massive GPU disadvantage of our UHD Graphics 620. However, we do appreciate that the system ships with a 90 W (~12.8 x 5.2 x 3 cm) AC adapter whereas many other laptops with ULV CPUs typically come with 60 W adapters or lower.

Battery Life
We're able to squeeze about 8 hours of real-world WLAN use when both removable battery packs (2 x 23 Wh) are installed. Recharging from empty to full capacity is somewhat slow at about 2.5 hours compared to 1.5 hours on most other laptops. Users can also recharge the laptop with third party USB-C adapters.

Verdict
The B360 does some notable things right that many other rugged laptops miss or ignore. Its display, for example, has deeper colors and higher contrast than expected for a better visual experience even though the system wasn't designed for any sort of graphics editing. The touchpad is also much more responsive when not wearing gloves unlike on the Durabook S14I and its jumpy touchpad. Combine these with the comfortable and clicky keyboard keys and you have an agreeable, no-nonsense user experience that any rugged device should be aiming for.
Surprisingly good IPS display for a rugged model in terms of brightness, colors, and contrast. The older Intel 10th gen CPU, however, is beginning to show its age.
There is a lot of room for improvement. Pulse-width modulation is present on all brightness levels which may affect users sensitive to onscreen flickering. The port covers are very annoying to lock and unlock especially since they tend to pop out on their own after locking. The lack of newer Intel 11th gen CPU options means owners will be missing out on PCIe4, Thunderbolt, and significantly higher performance-per-watt. RAM is difficult to access while maximum volume is softer than expected. A larger fan could have potentially mitigated the high-pitched fan noise when running demanding loads. We fully expect the eventual next generation model to make the jump to Intel Tiger Lake for the performance boost much like on the faster Durabook S14I or Acer Enduro Urban N3.
