Tablet and notebook computers for rugged use

Building on the success of the CF-18 tablet and CF-29 notebook, the Panasonic Toughbooks – the CF-19 convertible tablet PC, and the flagship CF-30 clamshell notebook – come equipped with Intel Core Duo processors, additional security features, and optional embedded access to next-generation wireless data networks from all major cellular wireless carriers. In addition, these notebooks incorporate daylight-readable screens and rugged features – such as magnesium alloy cases, sealed keyboards and ports, flexible internal connectors and shock-mounting – that deliver reliability.

The CF-19 features a 550 Nit (candelas per square metre, a measure of brightness) screen with a new low-reflection coating and the CF-30 boasts an industry-leading 1,000 Nit LCD, delivering the brightness of a fixed mount display in a portable computer. The CF-30 is the first mobile notebook to achieve this milestone in screen brightness.
