<p class="MsoNormal">My colleague, our archaeologist, has one that he takes out with him all the time that has all the reference datasets he needs (monuments, HER etc.) in QField. We’ve also used these tablets with volunteers for a LiDAR project. They happily
dealt with a fairly hefty project, again in QField, with various visualisations of the data on and they also had to cope with some weather whilst we were out and about too. We’ve been very happy with them. They come with a ruggedised case and you can replace
the batteries on them! (unheard of these days).<o:p></o:p></p>

It comes with Windows, but I run Debian Testing on it and I really like it, even the use of the pen.<br>
Not sure about ruggedized cases for it though.<br>

I'm afraid you will end up with the normal ruggedized Windows tablets which are available (and pretty expensive)?<br>
