Running a powerful quad-core processor and a full Windows 10 operating system, the Mesa 2 Rugged Tablet™ is the most capable device built by Juniper Systems yet. As we’ve said before, since it runs on full Windows, the Mesa 2 is robust enough to even be used as your desktop PC, making it especially easy to transition from collecting data in the field, to further utilizing your data back in the office.
Today you’ll find out how easy it is to start using your Mesa 2 as a desktop computer, beginning with the simplest way:
M2 Dock
The easiest method is by using our M2 Dock accessory to connect the Mesa 2 Rugged Tablet to your monitor using the included HDMI port or a USB/HDMI adapter. The M2 Dock also includes three USB ports, allowing you to easily connect a keyboard and mouse as well. After that, all you have to do is place your Mesa 2 into the M2 Dock to start using it as your personal computer.

Universal Docks
Plugable UD-3900 USB 3.0 Docking Station
Another—albeit less convenient—option to connect your Mesa 2 Rugged Tablet to a monitor is a universal dock, such as this one. While you may need to manually attach more cables each time you connect the Mesa 2 to your monitor, this is still a viable option.
Software Programs
A third method that will allow the Mesa 2 to work as a desktop PC is the use of certain software programs that provide remote access and control to the Mesa 2, viewed on a separate monitor. A few utilities you could try include:
- TeamViewer
- Remote Desktop Connection (a built-in utility)
- Mikogo
- GoToMyPC
- Or other VNCs
So there you have three different options that allow you to take advantage of the Mesa 2’s ability to act as both a rugged Windows 10 tablet for collecting data in tough environments, as well as a personal computer in the office.
