Most tablets are designed for homebodies and can barely handle a fall onto a carpet, let alone a hard surface; they can't survive any water, either. You'll need a rugged tablet if you have to take your tablet to work or on the go in rough environments.
Samsung is the one rugged tablet brand we trust, and our absolute favorite — the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro with built-in LTE — is $270 off for Prime Day, the lowest price we've seen on the 2022 tablet. It has military-grade protection against shock/falls, water, salt, dust, and heat; it can sit in water for a half-hour or be dropped on a hard surface from 4 feet and not take any damage; it has a removable battery; and it has surprisingly good performance on par with a lot of popular 2023 phones.
