Industrial laptop for speed and intelligence in high-pressure scenarios

I&C February 2026 Industrial Computer Hardware

The Getac B360 Plus bridges cutting-edge AI performance with unyielding durability. Its Intel Core Ultra 5/7 Processor (Series 2) and Intel AI Boost technology enable seamless execution of complex tasks, while the dedicated NPU brings up to 48 TOPS of AI-driven power to extreme environments. Paired with up to 32GB LPDDR5X memory for superior responsiveness and multitasking, and industry-leading features like a 1400-nit sunlight-readable screen and compact rugged design, this laptop is tailored for professionals who demand reliability, speed and intelligence in high-pressure scenarios. When your mission can’t afford delays or errors, the B360 Plus is your trusted solution.

Engineered for extreme conditions, the B360 Plus withstands rain, dust, shock and vibration, and has an optional salt fog certification. It is independently certified to meet military standards for numerous environmental conditions and ingress protection, is built to withstand temperatures from -29 to 63°C and a 1,8 metre drop while operating. The B360 Plus is also intrinsically safe, meeting ANSI/UL 121201 standards (per request) for Class 1 Division 2 hazardous environments. Experience reduced downtime and consistent reliability in demanding environments with the B360 Plus laptop.

The B360 Plus is designed to operate in diverse working conditions. With its 34 cm FHD capacitive touchscreen display featuring Getac’s LumiBond technology, the device responds to finger, stylus or gloved inputs seamlessly in wet and freezing conditions. An added advantage is up to 1400 nits of screen luminance for clear, comfortable viewing even in direct sunlight, boosting your productivity no matter the operating environment.

Starting at 2,32 kg, the B360 Plus delivers exceptional rugged flagship mobility that makes it easy to carry, store in a compartment, or mount safely in a vehicle. Its rounded corners make in-cabin use safe and convenient, and the device’s simple docking connection allows for further I/O port expansion and replication when using its purpose designed docking stations, cradles and carrying solutions.

Key I/O ports include a serial port, a VGA port, and up to two Thunderbolt ports for ultra-high-speed data transfer. The PowerShare USB 3.2 allows for power transfer even when the B360 Plus is turned off, and there is an HDMI 2.0 for easy media connection to monitors or projectors. The rear options bay can be configured to support specific port requirements such as adding an additional LAN port. Dual hot-swappable batteries enable LifeSupport battery changeout, helping ensure worker efficiency and continuous operation, and keeping critical tasks on track without having to power down the device.

The B360 Plus incorporates top privacy and security measures to ensure your data is protected. Sign in quickly and securely through multi-factor authentication, which includes a smart card reader, an optional HF RFID reader and Windows Hello facial recognition. Getac Disk Wipe solidifies the permanent irretrievability of stored data, safeguarding your data from reaching unintended or inappropriate parties. Remove its PCIe NVMe SSD storage drive for an added layer of security.
