Customer Use Cases

  • The large screen on the LD140 connects seamlessly to a tablet in the cab of a firetruck so first responders can view details on route or collected from the field.
  • A sheriff’s boat uses the LD140’s full-size screen and keyboard to view and input data directly from their handheld devices.
  • Police officers are using the LD140 lap dock both in vehicles and at their desks. The data stays on the handheld device in their pocket but moves easily from lap Dock to lap dock without leaving any data behind when they’re done. It stays on the mobile device or in the cloud.

Key Features and Specifications

  • 14.1-inch High-Brightness Touchscreen Display (1000 nits), ensuring excellent visibility in direct sunlight and challenging lighting environments.
  • Rugged Design: IP65-rated for dust and water resistance and compliant with MIL-STD-810H standards for drops (up to 1.2 meters), shocks, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
  • Ergonomic Laptop Form Factor: Integrated keyboard and trackpad provide the familiarity, comfort, and efficiency of a traditional laptop.
  • Smartphone-Centric Connectivity: USB-C and compatible docking options convert smartphones into fully functional computing platforms.
  • Built-In Security: The LD140 contains no onboard memory or storage. When the smartphone is disconnected, all data remains on the device—ensuring secure mobility and eliminating residual data risks.

 

In another use case, the LD140 lap dock displays smartphone-controlled drone video. The drone is connected to the phone, which is then connected to the lap dock, so they can view the drone video on the LD140’s 14” display.

Multiple users have also commented on how seamless the transition is, especially with the Samsung DeX integration. Connect your Android® smartphone or tablet with a desktop emulator app, and your phone data displays on an IP65-rated, MIL-STD-810H-certified, full-sized rugged laptop.

The convenience of mobile device data collection is seamlessly integrated into an easy-to-use, familiar laptop form factor.
