Rugged 2-in-1 Tablet
In the facility
Rugged is standard with the ET80, which makes it an ideal match for the manufacturing plant floor. You’re on your feet and on the go. So, we’ve designed the ET80 to be lightweight and sleek, yet durable with advanced Wi-Fi connectivity. The fanless thermal design, IP65 rating and wipeable exterior are ideal for cleanroom applications and other particulate-sensitive areas. And with Class 1 Division 2 certification, you can configure it for safe use when flammable hazardous materials are present. Tailor it to work your way with a touchscreen, keyboard or both, along with an ecosystem of accessories.

The dependable windows tablet created for the workers the world depends on
Every day, we depend on the workers that are essential to our way of life — from first responders that protect our communities to field service teams that maintain utility infrastructure to manufacturing production line workers that make the products that we rely on. These vital workers need more than just a rugged tablet. They need a tablet that is tailored for the indispensable work they perform. And the ET80/ET85 delivers. With support for the advanced wireless connectivity of WiFi 6E¹, 4G/5G and more, these tablets keep workers connected to the information and people they need, every minute of every shift. As workers move from the field to a vehicle to inside a facility, these tablets can instantly transform into a laptop or a full fixed or mobile workstation to best meet the needs of the moment. Value-add Zebra-only software tools take collaboration and productivity to the next level. And many feature options and accessories allow you to create the perfect tablet for every job. The ET80/ET85 — mission critical mobility for mission critical workers.
Superior ergonomics for mission critical workers
Thin and light — redefined
These rugged 2-in-1 tablets set the bar when it comes to portability — they are greater than 35% thinner and 20% lighter than major 2-in-1 competitors with the same screen size. When the tablet is placed in a vehicle dock, the low profile provides drivers with maximum visibility for improved safety, as well as easy access to information-rich screens.
Unmatched versatility — 2 devices in 1
The ET80 and ET85 are true laptop replacements, with a level of flexibility no laptop can provide. Go from tablet to laptop and back in seconds by simply attaching and detaching the rugged keyboard. Use it as a standalone tablet for maximum mobility. Need to enter a lot of data? Just attach the keyboard with its friction hinge, allowing the screen to be placed at most any angle — instead of a limited number of pre-set angles. And with the universal dock, the tablet transforms into a desktop in the office or a mobile workstation in a police car, truck, forklift and more.
A display that’s all business
The large 12 in. screen and its 3:2 ‘all business’ aspect ratio provides more real estate to display more information, improving productivity and ease of use. The screen is easy to view indoors and outside, even in bright sunlight. The touchscreen works when wet and with gloves.
Built-in protection prevents unauthorized access
Keep your tablets secure while giving users easy, instant access. Every model includes the Windows Hello camera for facial recognition or add the optional fingerprint reader, enabling easy two-factor authentication.
THE ET80/ET85 — THE RIGHT TABLET FOR THE WORKERS THE WORLD DEPENDS ON
Tailor your tablets for every user with a full family of accessories
Make backroom management easier with 4-slot auxiliary battery chargers. Create a mobile workstation in vehicles and forklifts or a desktop in the office with the universal docking solution that accommodates tablet and laptop modes. Add a rugged boot to boost durability. A shoulder strap and a handle can make life easier out in the field. An adapter adds an Ethernet and serial port — no tools required. And two expansion backs with an optional kickstand allow you to add an auxiliary secondary battery slot for double-shift power, plus either a rotating hand strap or a Common Access Card (CAC) reader for government-grade data security.
The most advanced features and the latest technologies
The most advanced wireless connections
When it comes to wireless connectivity, the ET80 and ET85 have it all — all the latest wireless technologies. You get the fastest WiFi, cellular and Bluetooth speeds with support for WiFi 6E1, 4G/5G and Bluetooth 5.1. With support for the new Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)2, companies can enable private LTE networks that provide cost-effective wireless connectivity in the largest facilities — indoors and outside. Public safety network certification provides first responders with a connection they can count on. Workers can always find the best path to the next location with robust optional GPS. And workers get consistently superior wireless services even in vehicles with the WiFi, cellular and GPS antenna passthroughs.
Designed to the latest rugged standards
Accidents happen. That’s why the ET80 and ET85 are built to deliver reliable operation despite the inevitable drops. Are your workers out in dusty areas? No problem, these tablets are dust tight. If they are dropped in the mud, just hose them off — even if the ports are open. The fanless thermal design is ideal for manufacturing clean rooms and other contaminant sensitive areas — and improves sealing. And with Class 1 Division 2 certification, you can configure the ET80 and ET85 for safe use when flammable hazardous materials are present.
World-class data capture
The best-in-class 13 MP rear color camera with flash captures high resolution images to document just about anything — from vehicle damage resulting from a traffic accident to the condition of a wound to a fallen tree on a power line or a machine on the production line in need of repair. The optional integrated scanner delivers first-time every-time capture of barcodes, even if they are damaged, scratched or poorly printed. And the scanner is thoughtfully located in the bottom right corner, allowing officers to easily scan driver’s licenses when the tablet is docked in the vehicle.
Superior audio
The tablets offer dual speakers, plus four noise cancelling microphones in the front and back that strip out background noise. So whether you’re on a push-to-talk or video call, dictating notes or using voice commands to perform a wide variety of actions on the tablet, you, your callers and your tablet will always hear every word.
The ultimate processing power for the ultimate user experience
Intel’s 11th generation processors provide a generational leap in application performance, boosting productivity.
Zebra mobility and datacapture DNA
Seamless push-to-talk communication and secure text messaging
Make your team even tighter with Workforce Connect’s enterprise-class push-to-talk and text messaging features. Workers can talk to an individual or a team with the press of a button, whether they are inside your facility, in the field or in a vehicle. And secure text messaging includes visibility into which workers are available to respond, worker location and a complete log of all text messages for all workers.
Ingenious battery technology
The PowerPrecision+ batteries provide a wealth of information that can be viewed right on the tablet. Visibility into critical battery health metrics helps ensure that workers have battery power they can count on, every shift, every day.
Scanner configuration and data integration made easy
Automatically detect and easily configure the scanner in your ET80 and ET85 tablets with 123Scan, an easy to use tool that allows even first time users to get your scanners up and running quickly. And the ability to format barcode data for your application makes it easy to integrate scanning into any workflow, eliminating data entry errors.
