But probably the biggest issue here is price.
The S419 G5 is built for a purpose, but not for a modest budget.
The entry-level hardware in the UK starts at 1760.53 (approximately $2200), exclusive of VAT.
But its not just about being able to handle knocks, dust and water.
Its also about the modularity of this design that enables it to be configured in numerous subtle ways.
Most of the ports on the G5 are protected by hard plastic covers with rubberised seals.
Perhaps in the G6, offering two NVMe drive slots would be a better plan.
However, in this cornucopia of I/O, a few things irked us.
And that is an option, as the standard 5MP webcam isnt Windows Hello capable.
And, it fully charged both batteries within 2 hours and 30 minutes.
That delivers a system with plenty of punch and excellent battery life, features which are often mutually exclusive.
It could also do with a better keyboard and touchpad, aspects that seemed unchanged from the G4.
Should you buy a Getac S410 G5?
Its MIL-STD-810H and IP53 certified, although that doesnt rate it for water submersion.
And, if you carry extra batteries or other equipment, things only get worse.
Once you factor in accessories and extra batteries, this could be a costly purchase.
