Outdoor usability has also improved thanks to a brighter screen that goes up to 1,000 nits that features Getac's LumiBond 2.0 Technology which provides better viewing angles, contrast ratio and sunlight readability. Working in low-light environments is easier too as the S410 has a backlit keyboard as well as a larger touchpad.

One of the best features of Getac's updated S410 rugged laptop though is the fact that the device is expandable to accommodate up to three batteries. This means that field workers can continue doing their jobs with zero downtime from shift to shift.
As is the case with Getac's other ruggedized products, the S410 is MIL-STD-810H certified and the laptop can resist a three-foot drop as well as operate in a wide temperature range from -20°F to 145°F (-29°C to 63°C). An IP53 rating even allows users to operate in dusty and light rain conditions without having to worry about damaging the S410.
President of the rugged and video solutions business group at Getac, Rick Hwang explained how customer demand helped influence the design of the S410 in a press release, saying:
