Hi folks,
I would encourage you to also check out Mergin Maps that will work on
IOS or Android devices. Maybe also spell out why Windows is required
or where the apps fail. The developers may be able to assist in
solving issues. Plenty more “rugged” devices available in Android or
with rugged cases in IOS.
I have used Panasonic tough books in the past but tablets or even
phones are just so much more useful these days (depending on your use
case)

Thanks all, weight is indeed an issue, and given I’ll be up a
scaffold/down trenches, I’ll probably have a harness/strap of some
sort to avoid dropping it... My GIS boffin has done some tests and
test project is running fine on his 4GB RAM 56 GB tablet, so hoping
can use a cheaper machine and with SSD
thanks

Hi,
We bought some years ago the Dell Rugged Extreme tablet and I want to
say : test before buy !
Even if QGIS works flawlessly with big projects, the Windows "tablet"
environment is just a pain, especially the virtual keyboards (plural
form as Microsoft has been unable to give something polished so we're
using two)
Add to this that this real computer needs a lot of power, batteries,
so is so heavy that that you need a necklace to handle it all day.
But the worst is the "Rugged" definition. Could you imagine that
there's fans, that they are accessible behind plastic to the most
common and dangerous thing for fan on earth : dust. Look on the
fourth picture to see the fan grid.

You see the point. Good luck and please share your finds.

I'm (just playing) with this tablet: ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen3
It comes with Windows, but I run Debian Testing on it and I
really like it, even the use of the pen.
Not sure about ruggedized cases for it though.
I'm afraid you will end up with the normal ruggedized Windows
tablets which are available (and pretty expensive)?

can run QGIS during data collection and recording on
archaeological sites (dusty, sometimes damp). The work is
recording simple attributes and short text comments onto
shapefiles of e.g. wall elevations (up to 20,000 polygons,
although these could be split up). There will be geo-tif
orthophotos of the wall elevations/plans as well, although these
could be lo-res. All processing and analysis will be done in
office on a desktop, tablet is just for recording.
