Getac has unveiled the ZX80W, a ruggedized PC tablet running on the 8-core Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490 ARM processor, with 13 TOPS of AI compute power, paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB storage. The ARM processor is designed for low-power consumption, with a rated TDP under 9 watts.

The tablet runs a version of Windows on ARM, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. While WoA is not 100% x64 Windows 11 compatible (see WoA compatibility list here), it does run many popular Microsoft applications and applications can be programmed to run natively on ARM CPUs.
