Performance for the professionals

Designed for professional users demanding optimum performance, the R11 now comes equipped with Intel® Core™ i7 and i5 processors. At the same time, its CPU has been upgraded to the latest Intel® 12th generation Alder Lake platform, making it up to 300% faster than previous models with an 8th Gen CPU. In addition, the R11 model is delivered with Intel® Iris Xe Graphics, boosting computing power to process large amounts of data, images and video feeds in real-time.

Rock-Solid Design to meet extreme challenges

Durabook understands that professional operatives need to work in challenging environments. With this in mind, the R11 is MIL-STD-810H certified and has an IP66 rating, which means it can withstand excessive dust and water exposure, low and high temperatures, shocks, vibrations and drops of up to four feet. It also boasts an impressive ultra-long battery life up to 14 hours, so users can be confident of undertaking multiple applications and uninterrupted operations with minimal risk of downtime.

Its smooth, streamlined exterior and neat form complement its tough image, guaranteeing optimum operational performance in every situation. The R11 is also tested for MIL-STD-461F and meets ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standards for Class I Division 2 hazardous locations, allowing customers across law enforcement departments, government, federal agencies, logistics companies, industrial and utility companies to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.

Exceptional clarity in every environment

The Durabook R11 also features an 11.6” FHD (1920 x 1080) 10-point capacitive multi-touch display with Durabook’s proprietary DynaVue® technology and up to 1,000 nits brightness, providing exceptional viewing even in direct sunlight. This model also offers four advanced touch modes – glove, stylus, water and finger – optimising the device’s use for both indoor and outdoor applications and improving accuracy in every environment.

Unparalleled connectivity

Equipped with Thunderbolt 4 technology, the R11 is designed to support the modern workspace by providing powerful, yet simple and flexible connectivity. In addition to providing exceptional wireless capability, via Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211, which is five times faster than its predecessor, the R11 features an additional Micro HDMI port for video output and can connect to multiple devices via its Bluetooth® V5.2 bandwidth.

Infinite customisation flexibility

Durabook knows that customisation is key, which is why the latest R11 model has been designed with flexibility in mind. Expansion options include:

  • Barcode reader
  • RJ-45
  • RS-232
  • RFID reader
  • Smart card
  • Magnet stripe reader

All of these options increase readability and usability for workers outside of the traditional office, for example, field service personnel needing to gather relevant information and track work progress or customer account records. Customers seeking to customise their Durabook R11 tablets also benefit from APC's in-house team of specialists, who offer comprehensive first-line technical support, servicing and product support.
