- VIDEO: The Toughness is obvious!
-
Spill resistance, vibration, free fall testings and more. TOUGHBOOK’s sturdy, robust, ruggedized body.
- All models are built extra rugged to withstand common accidents that include drops, spills, pressure, and vibration.
-
It’s not unusual to have PCs accidentally fall off a desk or to spill water on the keyboard. That’s why all models in the TOUGHBOOK/Business-rugged have been free-fall tested from 76 cm {30 in}*2. Also, that’s why we’ve made them extra robust with a keyboard that is completely spill resistant*1 so that you won’t get flustered during accidental water spills. All models are also able to withstand pressure, vibration, and even physical shock. These robust mobile PCs reduce the risk when using a PC on the jobsite.
The secrets behind Panasonic ruggedization
- Bonnet style magnesium top plate
-
A strong, light magnesium alloy is used as the body material. Also, the top plate incorporates a "bonnet construction", an idea we borrowed from automobile design. Without adding weight, rigidity is increased by shaping the metal to add structural strength, like a car hood. This increases the ability to withstand pressure so that the LCD panel is always protected.
- Annular pipe structure ensures durability and lightweight
-
The outer edges of the LCD cabinet are constructed in a "rib-like" fashion, creating a frame that surrounds the LCD, to protect it from warping.
- Floating structure for mainboard protection
-
To protect the high-density mainboard, its mounting system is designed to resist external twisting forces.
- Shock absorbing material protects hard disk
Free fall tested from 76 cm {30 in}*2 -
Hard disk surrounded in shock absorbing material.
Considering the average 76 cm {30 in} height of a desk, TOUGHBOOK/Business-rugged mobile PCs have been free fall tested from 76 cm {30 in}. While surrounding the hard disk with a shock absorbing material (damper), a low-rebound damper has also been set into the bottom of the case. Shock is physically reduced in order to protect your valuable data.
- Improved PC card slot strength
-
The connection between the card and the slot has been reinforced. This design increases the card-in-slot durability by more than three times* that of conventional units.
*Compared with the Panasonic CF-W5/Y4. To prevent damage to the PC card, Please carry the unit with the PC card removed.
- LCD protected from shock of falling by "arm embraced" structure
-
The sides of the LCD protrude while the sides of the palm rests are recessed. The chassis engages with the LCD using an "arm embracing" structure, which effectively lowers the danger of damage if the computer is dropped.
- Spill resistant keyboard*1 for reducing the risk of damaging the computer by water spills
-
The waterproof sheet under the keyboard protects all of the valuable parts in case a liquid is spilled onto the keyboard. A drain system allows the spilled water to be drained from an outlet on the bottom. This protects the TOUGHBOOK from water spills, one of the main causes of mobile PC damage.
- Waterproof Keyboard
-
The keyboard unit itself is completely waterproof, protected by seamless sealing
*1 Spill resistance applies to all of the keyboard. It does not apply to the side panel, battery section, speakers, and DVD drive when it is open (built-in DVD drive models). The spill-resistant performance of the product does not guarantee that it will be free from damage or malfunction. If water is spilled onto it, be sure to have it repaired. (A fee will be charged for this repair service.)

*Specifications and configurations may vary depending on country. Accessories may vary depending on your mobile PC configuration. Consult a Panasonic sales office near you for more details and availability of integrated options.
