Accelerated performance on the latest Copilot+ PCs

The next gen UX10 and UX10-IP are the latest Getac devices to meet Microsoft’s stringent Copilot+ PC criteria[2], joining the recently launched B360 Plus laptop and F120 tablet in its rapidly growing portfolio.

Both new devices are powered by an Intel® CoreTM Ultra 200V Series Processor and groundbreaking Intel® AI Boost NPU (Neural Processor Unit) with up to 48 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second), which can accelerate AI-driven tasks, enhance real-time analytics, and empower users to overcome difficult challenges. Other Copilot+ PC key features include up to 32GB LPDDR5X memory, up to 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD storage, and Windows Hello face authentication (an optional fingerprint reader is also available).

Elsewhere, the next generation UX10 and UX10-IP include a range of further upgrades over the previous generation. These include improved power efficiency for longer runtime between charges, a slimmer and lighter bridge battery (optional) for enhanced overall mobility, Wi-Fi 7 for seamless connectivity, and two Thunderbolt TM 4 Type-C ports for ultra-high-speed data transfer.

Fully rugged reliability in a compact and lightweight form factor

Like all of Getac’s solutions, the next gen UX10 and UX10-IP are built rugged from the ground up for excellent reliability and usability in the field. A 10.1-inch, 1,000 nits display offers enhanced durability and superb readability, even in direct sunlight, while the touchscreen can be operated with gloves on and in the rain. The devices are also MIL-STD-810H and IP66 certified, vibration and 6ft drop resistant, and boast an operating temperature range of -29°C to 63°C / -20°F to 145°F. Despite all this, they weigh just 1.15kg/2.53lbs, making them ideally suited to all-day use in the field.

UX10 – Suited to a diverse range of critical industry applications

The combination of power, versatility and portability makes the next gen UX10 ideally suited to a wide range of critical applications across the defence, manufacturing, utilities, public safety, and transportation & logistics industries.

  • For defence professionals, its compact size, light weight and advanced security features make it ideally suited to drone control and intelligence gathering activities.
  • For manufacturing operators, the built-in NPU brings powerful, on-device intelligence to the factory floor, enabling the use of both generative and discriminative AI models for efficient predictive maintenance. This is complemented by extensive connectivity and video streaming, which support real-time process monitoring.
  • For utilities field engineers, the UX10’s wide temperature operating range, AI-powered processing capabilities and sunlight readable screen make data intensive mapping activities and processing/analysing images for anomalies fast and efficient.
  • For public safety professionals, its on-device NPU and rugged design make the UX10 ideally suited to AI-driven applications such as real-time transcription, video analysis, and evidence categorization, enabling faster, more accurate response in critical situations.
  • For transportation & logistics professionals, the UX10 excels in large-scale warehousing environments where workers and forklift drivers move between cold storage and outdoor areas exposed to the elements. The device can also be securely mounted in vehicle cabins for real-time navigation, delivery processing, and inventory management, helping drivers stay productive and on schedule.

UX10-IP – Designed for infection prevention

The next gen UX10-IP is purpose-built to help emergency healthcare responders and providers prevent the spread of infection during busy shifts, featuring an innovative sealed button design that enables it to be quickly cleaned and disinfected between uses. An easy-to-clean rubber hand strap specifically designed for emergency services use is also available if required.

“The next gen UX10 and UX10-IP give enterprises a uniquely versatile platform to bring advanced AI into the field,” says James Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation. “Their compact form factor, rugged reliability, and deep customization options make them ideal for running generative AI and machine learning proof of concepts across industries, from predictive maintenance in manufacturing to real-time situational awareness in public safety. By combining Copilot+ PC capabilities with extensive extension and configuration possibilities, the UX10 series empowers organizations to safely innovate, adapt, and scale AI applications in challenging environments.”

Both UX10 and UX10-IP will be available in October.

[1]The UX10 was named 2023 Best Rugged Tablet by Techradar.
[2]Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC minimum requirements include an NPU capable of 40+ TOPS, at least 16GB of memory, 256GB of storage and one or more biometric security feature.

The unlikely origin story behind SDS Australia’s high-speed partnership with Volante Rosso

Why Is a Sauna Company Sponsoring an Aston Martin GT Racing Team?

SYDNEY, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SDS Australia has officially joined forces with Volante Rosso Motorsport — Aston Martin Racing’s GT World Challenge Australia team — in a bold new partnership that unites one of the country’s fastest growing sauna and ice bath brands with elite motorsport.

While the announcement may surprise some, it’s a move that underscores how wellness is increasingly intersecting with high-performance sport.

Volante Rosso are teaming up with SDS Australia — the nation's leading sauna company
Volante Rosso are teaming up with SDS Australia — the nation’s leading sauna company

From Saunas to Supercars

The unlikely origin story behind SDS Australia’s high-speed partnership with Volante Rosso began three years ago when Michael Doubinski – serial tech entrepreneur, co-founder of Hotels Combined, one of the first investors and board members for Menulog, and chairman of ProductReview.com.au – was asked by his wife to “go talk to our sauna builder,” he laughed.

“You’ve got to be crazy,” Michael said. “What am I going to do with a sauna construction business?”

Fast-forward just 36 months later and that one conversation has transformed SDS Australia into the country’s leading luxury sauna, ice bath and wellness company, now sponsoring one of the nation’s top GT racing teams — Volante Rosso Motorsport, in partnership with Aston Martin Racing.

The Handshake Deal Behind SDS’s Rise

It all started during the build of a custom sauna at Michael’s Middle Dural home. The sauna builder, Alexander — a retiring craftsman who had founded SDS Australia over two decades earlier — was looking to sell. A quick chat turned into a deal sealed with a handshake.

But what initially seemed like a hobby business for a wellness-loving tech founder, turned out to be a hidden gem.

“Once I realised who SDS had built saunas for — from Nicole Kidman to elite athletes, 5-star hotels, the Star Casino, and a multitude of other celebs — I saw the opportunity,” says Michael. “This was a brand with roots in prestige and performance… it just needed a new engine.”

Turbocharging the Sauna Industry

Leveraging his background in tech, marketing, and growing multiple businesses, Michael and his team rapidly scaled SDS Australia — partnering with Europe’s most exclusive sauna and wellness manufacturers to bring custom-built luxury wellness solutions to Australian homes, hotels, clinics, and gyms.

From bespoke European-built saunas to cutting-edge ice bath therapy systems, SDS Australia is at the forefront of a global wellness movement — one that’s now backed by real science, with studies showing regular sauna users experience significantly reduced rates of cardiovascular disease, improved recovery, and even extended lifespans.

“Wellness isn’t a trend anymore,” says Michael. “It’s a lifestyle shift. And we’re building the tools people need to take back control of their health — in style.”

With operations now expanded across NSW, Victoria, and soon Queensland, WA, and New Zealand, SDS Australia has grown 20X in just three years, with the main website at https://sdsaustralia.com being brought to a world class standard by a talented team that otherwise would be working for Silicon Valley type of ventures.

So… Why Car Racing?

It’s a fair question.

What does a luxury sauna brand have to do with GT racing, carbon fibre, and trackside adrenaline?

“To us, high-performance is universal,” says Michael. “Just like a finely-tuned race car, our products are designed for those who expect excellence. They’re engineered for results. Volante Rosso represents that same mindset — relentless, precise, elite.”

The partnership between SDS Australia and Volante Rosso is more than a logo on a car — it’s a statement of ambition. A new generation of wellness meets a new era of motorsport. Both built for performance. Both built to win.

“When we founded HotelsCombined, we were told we couldn’t compete with the big names. Then Booking.com acquired us. This is no different. We’re building something massive — and we’re just getting started.”

About SDS Australia

SDS Australia is a leading provider of luxury saunas, ice baths, and wellness solutions, servicing both residential and commercial clients nationwide. With exclusive partnerships across Europe and a commitment to performance-grade wellness experiences, SDS Australia is redefining what it means to relax, recover, and recharge.
