Rugged notebook with unrivalled flexibility and performance for mobile industrial computing

March 2026 Industrial Computer Hardware

The 34 cm fully rugged notebook from Vepac with hot swappable twin batteries, detachable keyboard with optional backlit keys, and highly configurable capabilities brings unrivalled flexibility and performance for mobile business computing. Thanks to the detachable keyboard design and 6 usage modes, the Toughbook33 2-in-1 detachable offers the best of all worlds for mobile workers. Target industries for the device include field service workers, maintenance and service technicians in utilities and telecommunications.

Fully rugged, aways ready

Engineered from the ground up to be used on the go and in harsh environments, the Toughbook is tested to military standards (MILSTD810G) and officially IP65-rated for water and dust resistance. It can also survive drops, knocks, vibrations and extreme temperatures.

A better view

When you are regularly rotating between indoors and out, night and day, in good and bad weather, your screen needs to respond seamlessly. With a 30 cm QHD display, the Toughbook 33 provides clear images in both bright sunlight and dim settings. Although toughened, it is responsive to finger, glove and pen, even in wet conditions. It also has a 3:2 aspect ratio. This taller screen shows more words, spreadsheets, engineering drawings, code and business apps. This results in less squinting, scrolling and switching, and hence, more productivity.

Take it anywhere for as long as you need

There is 4G LTE for optimised connectivity and more than a day of battery life (20 hours) with hot-swap options. The Toughbook 33 is slim, lightweight and easy to carry, and can be easily integrated into vehicles so your team can always communicate, access critical information, and report in real time when on the move.

An intuitive, multitasking tool

The Toughbook 33 comes with multiple configuration and customisation options to fit the way you work. From front and rear cameras, a loud stereo speaker for ease of communication over sirens and enhanced voice recognition while driving, to a dedicated GPS, backlit keyboard, smartcard and fingerprint readers.
