Recent Changes in Toughbook Product Line
Quick Links


Over the last three months, Panasonic has refreshed several of their most popular Toughbook models and also introduced a brand new model.

As someone who is interested in rugged mobile computers, Group Mobile felt it important and beneficial to make you aware of these significant changes and enhancements. 

 
Refresh - Toughbook 19
  The highly popular Toughbook 19 is Panasonic's convertible tablet computer. Convertible means the computer can operate as a tablet pc with touchscreen or as a laptop with a full keyboard. The Toughbook 19 is a fully-rugged machine intended for use in vehicles or in outdoor environments.
 
Panasonic recently refreshed the Toughbook 19 with Intel's latest Core 2 Duo processor, a larger hard disk drive, 2GB RAM standard, an optional dual mode (finger touch and digitizer stylus) display, an optional integrated camera, and extended battery life of 9-10 hours.
Refresh - Toughbook 30
  The Toughbook 30 is the flagship of the Toughbook line. The "30" is the successor to the original Toughbook 25 which then evolved to the Toughbook 27, Toughbook 28 and then the Toughbook 29. The Toughbook 30 is a fully-rugged, 13.3" display laptop/notebook designed for use in a vehicle or in outdoor environments.

The "30" was recently refreshed to include Intel's latest Core 2 Duo processor, a larger hard disk drive, 2GB RAM standard, an optional touchscreen with 1000 NIT display (sunlight-viewable), and extended battery life of 7 hours.

Refresh - Toughbook 52
The Toughbook 52 is Panasonic's full featured yet cost effective semi-rugged laptop computer. The Toughbook 52 comes in 2 different models. The "under $2,000" model has a 2.26GHz processor and a WXGA resolution display. The higher-end model has a 2.4GHz processor, a WUXGA resolution display, 512MB dedicated VRAM for improved video performance, and Bluetooth as standard.
 
The refresh of the Toughbook 52 increased the RAM memory to 2GB standard and included a larger hard disk drive. The other significant enhancement to the "52" is the new optional 13.3" touchscreen display with 1000 NIT brightness. This means that the Toughbook 52 can now be effectively used outdoors. However, the laptop remains semi-rugged so it is not sealed against rain, dust or other outdoor environmental conditions.

New Product - Toughbook F8
Panasonic's latest offering in their business-rugged line is a jewel. The new Toughbook F8 has a magnesium case, a shock-mounted hard disk drive, and a spill-resistant keyboard like other ruggedized laptops, but is possibly the best looking, most gorgeous Toughbook ever made. Everyone who sees it remarks that it sure is a sleek and beautiful computer.
 
The F8 has a large 14.1" widescreen display but weighs only 3.7lbs. It includes Intel's latest Core 2 Duo processor and comes standard with 3GB RAM. It also has a built-in carry handle for the ultimate in portability. If you are a frequent traveler or just someone who needs something tougher than a plastic laptop, this is the machine for you.
