Extend the Transformative Power of AI to the Field
Generative and other offshoots of AI are rapidly becoming
fundamental tools that every professional uses every day in the
office. Now the new, third-generation Z14I provides the computing
power necessary to use AI in the field, too, for applications such
as building design, analyzing crime scene evidence, and virtual
assistants on the factory floor. This directly and dramatically
improves employee productivity and efficiency while enabling
workflows and actionable insights that can only be unlocked with
next-gen AI PCs.
“The next-generation Durabook Z14I enables anytime, anywhere
AI,” said Sasha Wang, president of Durabook Americas. “We’re
entering a new era of AI PCs that will redefine the concept of a
personal computer. AI is driving a more personalized, powerful
experience, empowering users in both their personal and
professional lives. As the world’s most powerful AI-ready, 14”
fully rugged laptop, the Z14I is the ideal choice for mobile
professionals who want to extend AI’s benefits to the field.”
Security, Reliability, and All-Day Battery Life
The Z14I provides reliable service in all kinds of extreme
situations and harsh environments, having received multiple
certifications including IP66 certification and 6-foot drop
resistance. It also has MIL-STD-810H certification for drop, shock,
vibration, rain, dust, salt fog, altitude, freeze/thaw, humidity,
explosive atmospheres, and temperature extremes ranging from -29°C
(-20°F) to 63°C (145°F).
The Z14I features Coolfinity™ fanless cooling, which maximizes
reliability by removing a component that consumes power, is a
potential point of failure, and vacuums dust and other debris into
the device. Coolfinity also helps maximize battery life to 12.5
hours, and up to 21.5 hours in dual-battery mode. The Z14I can also
be equipped with a bridge battery so users can hot-swap batteries
in the field without any downtime.
The Z14I is ideal for law enforcement, military, pharmaceutical,
and other verticals where data security is a top requirement.
Standard security features include a smart card reader, RFID/NFC
reader, and fingerprint scanner, as well as a 5MP infrared camera
with a shutter to support Windows Hello facial authentication.
Windows 11 with Secured-core PC technology integrates hardware,
firmware, software, and identity protection to provide the highest
level of protection, including advanced protection of firmware and
dynamic root of trust measurement.
State-of-the-Art Wired and Wireless Connectivity
With more data-heavy work taking place in conjunction with the
Cloud, the latest wired and wireless technologies ensure that Z14I
users can quickly and reliably access the cloud, share large data
files such as 3D architectural illustrations, and use real-time
bandwidth-intensive applications such as HD video
collaboration:
- Two Thunderbolt 4 ports
- Intel® Wi-Fi 7, offering 4.8x faster transfer speed than Wi-Fi
6E
- Bluetooth® V5.4 with wider range, stronger connections, and
enhanced IoT capabilities
- Dual SIM (Nano SIM and eSIM) and optional 4G LTE or 5G
- USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 Type-A ports
- Two RJ-45, two serial ports, HDMI, VGA, and ExpressCard 54
Optional dedicated GPS enables precise location tracking and
enables geographic applications such as GIS mapping.
Maximum Viewability Even in Direct Sunlight
The 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) DynaVue® display provides up
to enhanced 1,200 nits brightness to reveal every detail even in
bright, direct sunlight. The 10-point capacitive multi-touch panel
with four touch modes (Glove, Stylus, Water, Finger) ensures that
the Z14I can be used in virtually any work environment, indoors and
out.
Extensive Customization Options
The Z14I can be equipped with up to three storage drives — two
removable quick-release NVMe PCIe SSDs and a SATA SSD — to enable
users to run RAID 0 and RAID 1. The innovative expansion box
provides either two slots of PCIe interface for various solution
builds, military-grade connectors, or storage security extension
with RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations. It can be quickly installed in
the field to transform the Z14I into a powerful portable server or
the ultimate solution for specific tasks.
The optional dedicated NVIDIA RTX A500 is ideal for demanding
tasks such as graphics rendering, architectural illustrations, and
AI applications, delivering up to 100 TOPS in AI acceleration.
The new Z14I is available now.
