What is Semi-Rugged?
The F5 has been rigorously tested for conditions field workers may occasionally face such as bumps, drops or exposure to wind, heat and rain. The F5 is IP54 rated, meaning it is suitable for use in dusty environments and is resistant to water, so it could, for example, withstand a rain shower.
Semi-rugged features include:
- A magnesium alloy internal frame that delivers structural durability
- Rubber Elastomer overmold adds bump protection
- A chemical-resistant resin that is easy to clean
- A sealed design to help protect from harsh environmental conditions
- Shock mounted Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid State Drive (SSD) to withstand drops from common distances
- Motion DataGuard™: An accelerometer which parks the hard drive if it senses a drop or shocking motion
- A Motion exclusive thermal management system that allows for a shutdown without data loss

Motion has included a field-ready warranty that protects against incidents that can occur in the field. The warranty leads the industry in protection for durable PCs, covering damage from short drops (approx. 30 inches) or exposure to rain and dust. Motion also offers an optional display warranty that provides no-fault coverage for damage to the F5 screen.
There is no need to pay more for Fully-Rugged.
The ergonomic, lightweight design of the semi-rugged Motion F5 protects against environmental conditions and accidental situations, without the high price associated with fully rugged PCs.
- The F5 ranges from $2699 - $4000, depending on configuration. This is a significantly lower price point than that of fully-rugged PCs, with prices starting at nearly $1000 more.
- The F5 strikes the perfect balance of price, durability, mobility and feature integration.
• Handhelds are too small, difficult to use and have minimal application support.
• Consumer Notebooks/Convertibles lack durability, have no integration of necessary devices (RFID/Camera/Barcode) and are difficult to use for mobile professionals in the field.
• Ruggedized Notebooks/Convertibles are very heavy, very expensive, have no integration of necessary devices and are also difficult to use for mobile professionals in the field.
