It comes standard with a 2-megapixel webcam with an optional 8-megapixel rear camera to expand communication options for workers.
It has an optional bridge battery to allow for continuous operation and an optional second battery located in the keyboard dock doubles battery life and can also be swapped between the tablet and keyboard dock.
Built for ruggedness and reliability, the Toughbook 20 is designed to meet MIL-STD-461F for electromagnetic interference and MIL-STD-810G for drop, shock, vibration, explosive atmosphere, temperature, humidity, rain and sand, as well as IP65 waterproof and dustproof ingress. The device has a magnesium alloy case, fan-less design, locking port covers, raised bezel and an SSD heater.
