Rugged computing manufacturer Getac has launched the G140, a fully rugged tablet powered by AMD Ryzen technology that qualifies as a Copilot+ PC, targeting professionals in public safety, automotive and manufacturing who need to run edge AI applications in the field.
The G140 is Getac’s first AMD-powered fully rugged tablet available in Australia and New Zealand, expanding the company’s portfolio beyond its existing Intel-based rugged devices. It follows the recent launch of the S510AD rugged laptop, also AMD-powered, as Getac broadens its platform options for customers with specific integration requirements.
The tablet will be available in Australia and New Zealand from June 2026.
AMD processing and AI capabilities
The G140 runs an AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 or 7 350 CPU paired with an AMD Radeon 840M or 860M GPU. Its AMD XDNA 2 NPU delivers up to 50 TOPS (trillion operations per second), exceeding the 40 TOPS threshold required for Copilot+ PC qualification.
The integrated graphics are designed to handle high-resolution maps and complex schematics without the need for a separate GPU. Getac says the AMD architecture is optimised for power efficiency to support long shifts between charges.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, optional 4G LTE, optional 5G Sub-6 and optional dual-SIM support. Two USB 4 ports come as standard for high-speed data transfer, video output and power delivery.
Built for harsh conditions
The G140 carries MIL-STD-810H and IP66 certifications, with 1.2-metre drop resistance and an operating temperature range of -29C to 63C. These specifications are aimed at ensuring reliability in the challenging climatic conditions common across Australia and New Zealand.
Despite its rugged construction, the tablet weighs 1.79 KG, which Getac positions as light enough for extended carrying and operation in the field.
The device features a 14-inch LumiBond screen with 1,000 nits of brightness for outdoor readability. Getac’s Smart Touch auto-sensing technology automatically adapts to inputs from a finger, stylus or glove without manual mode switching. A dual-speaker design is included for noisy environments.
Battery and security
The G140 uses Getac’s hot-swappable battery technology and can accommodate optional high-capacity batteries for extended use. Security features include TPM 2.0, a Windows Hello face-authentication camera, and optional additions including AMD PRO, an HF RFID reader, fingerprint reader and smart card reader.

Mounting and mobility
A range of carrying and mounting options includes a hard handle, rotating hand strap, magnetic mount and kickstand. The latter three connect via an integrated VESA mount built into the chassis, allowing the tablet to be mounted onto surfaces for hands-free operation. Vehicle docks from Havis and Gamber-Johnson support in-vehicle charging and use.
Target use cases
Getac is positioning the G140 for several field applications. In public safety, first responders can detach the tablet from a vehicle upon arriving at an incident and use it to gather evidence, gain situational awareness and share information with other teams in the field.
In the automotive sector, mechanics and technicians can use the device to run diagnostics, manage tasks, check inventory and address emergency roadside issues. Manufacturing operators can use it to capture and share asset data across a facility for predictive planning and maintenance.
Expanding the rugged Copilot+ PC range
The G140 joins Getac’s growing portfolio of rugged Copilot+ PCs, which now spans five devices: the UX10 fully rugged tablet (Intel), the F120 fully rugged tablet (Intel), the B360 Plus fully rugged laptop (Intel), the S510AD rugged laptop (AMD) and the G140 fully rugged tablet (AMD).
James Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation, pointed to growing demand for rugged devices capable of running AI workloads at the edge.
“As organisations in Australia and New Zealand and globally increasingly harness the power of AI within their operations, demand for rugged digital devices capable of running powerful edge AI applications is growing at an exponential rate,” Hwang commented.
“With the launch of the G140 we are redefining what’s possible at the edge, putting real-time analytical power directly into the hands of field professionals and empowering them to complete mission-critical activities without compromise, no matter how harsh the conditions.”
