The device runs the Windows 10 Professional software and an Intel Pentium 64-bit quad-core processor. The processor and operating system are said to make it easy to process data in spreadsheets and run office software programs. Using third-party apps, front- and rear-facing cameras allow contractors to video conference from the field for on-the-job support and capture high-definition videos and images.

It meets stringent MIL-STD-810G for drops, vibration, immersion and temperature extremes and with IP65 and IP68 ratings, is sealed against water and dust. The screen uses a Gorilla Glass display that is scratch and impact resistant.
Optional, user-exchangeable Trimble EMPOWER modules make the Trimble T7 Tablet versatile for a variety of applications. The Trimble EMPOWER Platform allows users to customise their mobile computing solution to their workflow.
Siteworks Software features an interface said to be optimised for ease-of-use and productivity. The release of the T7 increases the available hardware configuration options for Siteworks users.
