Dell has announced two new laptops for its Latitude Rugged PC portfolio as its first-ever laptops that ship with Windows 11 preinstalled. Though the Latitude 5430 Rugged and Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme have been designed for specific use-cases. Here is how.

Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and Dell Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme have been launched by the company as two new offerings in its Latitude Rugged lineup of laptops. While the first one comes as the lightest 14-inch semi-rugged laptop, the Dell Latitude 7330 is being claimed as the industry’s smallest 13-inch fully-rugged laptop.

Dell explains what it means by these terms. Fully-rugged refers to a device that is tested up to MIL-STD-810H specs, which means that it has been drop-tested from up to 6-feet and has water, dust, dirt ingress-protection (IP) rating of IP-65.
