AAEON’s RTC-1010RK is a 10.1-inch (1280 x 800) rugged tablet powered by a Rockchip RK3399 processor and can be equipped with up to 4GB LPDDR4 memory and 128GB eMMC flash. It offers robust connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and optional 4G LTE and Ethernet. It also supports GPS + GLONASS (Default), and BeiDou (Optional) for navigation.
The RTC-1010RK is an IP65-rated tablet with protection against dust and water splashes. Additionally, it has programmable function keys, NFC/smart card readers, front (8MP) and rear (8MP) cameras, and the option to add a barcode scanner. The hot-swappable battery in the tablet ensures uninterrupted power, making it ideal for demanding field and industrial applications.
It’s not the first rugged tablet from AAEON, as previously, we have written about the AAEON RTC-710AP 7-inch rugged tablet and the AAEON RTC-1010M Windows 10-based semi-rugged tablet. We also reviewed the Higole F7G Plus rugged tablet. Feel free to check those out if you are looking for similar products.

The company mentions that the RTC-1010RK will ship with Android 11, and you don’t have to worry about drops, shocks, or vibrations because this tablet is MIL-STD-810H (a military standard that tests a product’s ability to withstand environmental conditions throughout its lifetime) tested for extreme environments.
At the time of writing the AAEON has not declared any pricing information for the tablet, but if you want to get a quote or have any inquiries you can do that from their product page where you’ll also find a datasheet and a manual for download.

Interesting if it ends up competitively priced when compared to the PineTab and someone sticks GNU/Linux on it…
Yeah interesting, but probably not inexpensive.
Yeah probably not with this spec!
The price would probably be close to $1,000 for this type of rugged tablet.
Yeouch :O
Its not interesting. The RK3399 is really slow and produce way too much heat. RK3582 or RK3576 that are both 8nm and can run fully on free software would have been more interesting.
The RK3399’s been out for quite a while now and seen a fair bit of dev work for running mainline, including from the PINE64 community amongst others, so it at least has a decent chance of being able to run GNU/Linux, though the RK3568 or A311D would probably have been a more sustainable choice?
