M156AD

The Winmate M156AD is a large-format 15.6-inch rugged tablet running Windows. It is designed for professionals who need the screen real estate of a laptop but in a tablet form factor. It provides a large canvas for viewing technical diagrams, blueprints, and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) software directly on the factory floor.

The M156AD is the standard model without the discrete NVIDIA GPU. While it shares the same powerful Intel Core i5-1235U processor and rugged chassis, the standard M156AD utilizes Intel's integrated Iris® Xe Graphics. This makes it more cost-effective and energy-efficient for users who need a large screen but don't require heavy 3D rendering capabilities.

Yes, it features a Projected Capacitive Multi-Touch (PCAP) screen. The 15.6-inch panel supports multi-touch gestures (pinch-to-zoom), making it intuitive to navigate complex maps or PDFs. It also supports Rain Mode and Glove Mode, ensuring functionality in wet or industrial environments.

Yes, it features dual RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This is a standout feature. Having two built-in LAN ports allows the tablet to bridge two separate networks (e.g., corporate IT network and OT factory network) or connect directly to PLCs and diagnostic equipment without needing USB dongles.

The M156AD is designed for extended field use. With its dual battery system (typically 2 x 3220mAh), it offers up to 11 hours of standard operation. The batteries are hot-swappable, meaning you can replace them on the fly to keep working indefinitely.

Yes, the rear of the tablet features standard VESA mounting holes. This allows the M156AD to be mounted on medical carts, vehicle docks, or articulating arms at a workstation, effectively serving as a rugged All-in-One (AIO) PC that can be easily detached and carried away.

It is equipped with enterprise-grade security. The device includes a TPM 2.0 module for hardware-based encryption and a Kensington Lock slot to prevent theft when used in public or shared workspaces. It runs Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise, supporting features like BitLocker and Assigned Access (Kiosk Mode).

Yes, it includes Wi-Fi and BT. Support for Wi-Fi ensures faster speeds and lower latency in congested wireless environments. Optional 4G LTE or 5G modules are available for wide-area connectivity in remote field locations.

Yes, it can be equipped with an optional integrated Smart Card Reader. This is essential for secure user authentication in government, defense, or healthcare applications, requiring personnel to insert their ID card to access the system.

The device weighs approximately 2.8 kg (6.2 lbs). While heavier than a 10-inch tablet, it is comparable to a rugged tablets. However, its slate form factor allows for more versatile usage scenarios, such as being laid flat on a table for group discussions or mounted vertically on a wall.
