Winmate Releases Large-Screen 13.3-Inch Rugged Tablet

Winmate's New M133W Features 1080p Resolution, Offers Laptop-Equivalent Screen Size With Rugged Tablet Durability


ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Aug 10, 2015) - Winmate Communication Inc., a global leader in developing advanced rugged mobile technologies, has released the new 13.3-inch M133W rugged, mobile tablet. The elegant, yet fully rugged M133W offers the larger screen size of a laptop in a tablet form factor for increased visibility and computing in demanding environments such as automotive manufacturing and vehicle diagnostics.

The M133W's large 13.3-inch sunlight-readable IPS display was thoughtfully designed to retain sharpness, offering full 1920 x 1080 pixel HD resolution. The industrial-grade tablet also offers a multi-touch projected capacitive screen, and rapid processing power with multiple CPU options including Intel's latest 5th generation "Broadwell" Core i5-5200U processor, the 4th generation Haswell Core i5-4200U, and Intel Celeron 2980U.

"In addition to its exacting display standards, the M133W is built to increase computing and productivity in the field, while maintaining the portability of a tablet," said Khalid Kidari, vice president of Winmate. "While most rugged tablets on the market today only go up to 11.6 inch screens, Winmate's technology gives users the expanded size without having to choose between form and function. This makes the M133W an ideal option for the automotive manufacturing and vehicle diagnostic industries."

Weighing less than a laptop at 5.3 pounds (approx. 2.4 kilograms), the M133W delivers lightweight mobility in a rugged tablet. It is also equipped with a hot-swappable battery for uninterrupted operation, and features robust data capture with 1D/2D barcode and HF RFID readers, as well as a 2.0MP front camera for conferencing and a 5.0MP rear camera for additional data capture.

Protected against water, extreme temperatures, shock and dust, the M133W offers a highly durable solution, enabling its use in even the most challenging environments. It is sealed to IP65 and meets MIL-STD-810G standards for shock, vibration and 4-foot drops to concrete, as well as functionality in extreme temperatures ranging from 14 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 50 C).

The M133W also enables connectivity and reliable wireless communication, with 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, options for 3G or 4G LTE ready to operate on any carrier, and a highly accurate u-blox GPS. It ships standard with Windows® Embedded 8.1 operating system and a 128GB drive to support requirements in industrial applications.
