What is Rugged?
The sealed 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. The Motion F5 has also been extensively drop tested in accordance with MIL-STD-810F specifications. See detail on testing

Motion has included a three-year 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 Protection Plan (DPP) that provides accidental coverage for damage to the F5 display.
There is no need to pay more for Fully-Rugged.
The ergonomic, lightweight design of the rugged Motion F5 protects against environmental conditions and accidental situations without the high price associated with other fully rugged PCs.
- The F5 ranges from $2600 - $4000, depending on configuration. This is a significantly lower price point than that of other 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 in the field.
