| New Toughbooks by Panasonic |
If you haven't heard about Panasonic's Toughbook line of laptops, they're a series of notebooks designed to be used in the most rugged conditions: shock, vibration, high temperatures, spills, drops, you name it. Now there are two new models, the CF-19, a tablet PC, and the CF-30, a standard clamshell notebook. Both are successors of previous models, the CF-18 and CF-29, respectively. Both are built from a magnesium alloy with shock-mounted screens and hard drives to be able to stand anything you can throw at them. (Do I mean that literally? I'm not quite sure.) Battery life has been improved over the previous models: both laptops are rated at six hours of use before the battery dies. Both the CF-19 and CF-30 are equipped with Core Duo processors and daylight readable 1000-nit screens (Panasonic is calling these the world's brightest laptop screens, which they very well could be). In addition to a host of security features, they also support 3G wireless networks, so you can have access to the Internet away from home or the office. The CF-19 will cost you $4200, while the CF-30 is slightly more expensive at $4700. Both will be available in December. More info here.
