- A more reliable mobile PC for challenging conditions
-
If you are looking for a PC you can use with confidence in factories and on building sites, in vehicles, in places with high risk from water and dust, vibration, impact and so on.
Our TOUGHBOOK passes tests for toughness set by the U.S. Department of Defense and has the largest share*1 of the world market for rugged mobile PCs.

- 90cm (36 in) free-fall tests*1 are conducted. From material to construction—tough body
(CF-30/19/H1) -
The hard disk is protected by special shock absorbing material (dampers), and the main body is made from impact resistant magnesium alloy. Because the tough design of the main body is tested to withstand falls from about 90 cm*1 even in challenging environments, work still can be done on that PC. Then, when moving from one location to another, there is no need to worry about putting the PC in a case. You can just take it with you as is.
A free fall test is conducted on each surface, side, and corner in every direction, making a total of 26 directions.

The hard disk is surrounded with a special shock-damping material and enclosed in an aluminum case. Thus protected from shocks, the hard disk is less susceptible to damage, and the risk of data loss is greatly reduced. Because it withstands vibration and jolts, you can use it all day in vehicles.
- Shock-resistant LCD monitor
-
Shock-absorbing material (damper) on the inner side protects the LCD. Shock damping, along with a frame that resists bending and twisting, make the LCD less susceptible to damage.
- Sandwich construction survives 120 cm (48 in) free-fall test (CF-U1)*1
-
Free-fall tests from a height of 120 cm (48 in) onto a concrete surface (while operating) were conducted to simulate what can happen during hand-held use. The case surface is partially made from elastomer resin to alleviate external shock. Inside the case, a sandwich construction is used in which the main circuit board is protected on both sides by magnesium alloy frames. The end result is a rugged body that makes it difficult for vibration to reach the circuit board, even if shock is applied due to dropping.
- Sealing and fanless design prevent the penetration of water and dust*1
-
The design features seamless sealing all around the body and a splash resistant keyboard. Even the connectors are protected by a metal door with a rubber seal. The computer resists the entry of water or dust from any direction. Moreover, the fan-less design prevents trouble that might otherwise be caused by sucking in dust or particles. Outdoors, you can use it without worrying about sudden showers or blowing dust.
- Splash-proof cover protects the ports from dust and water splatter*1
-
The frequently used LAN and modem connectors are protected from the inside by sealant. For the other ports, a metal door with a rubber seal provides protection against the penetration of water drop and dust. The connector sections are also protected against impact damage after falling.
- Splash proof monitor*1
-
A special seal prevents falling water from getting in via the face side of the monitor while all-round rubber sealing in the housing also ensures that water does not penetrate.
*1 Tests conducted in non-operating condition. The shock resistance, vibration resistance, dust-proof, and splash-proof functions are not a guarantee against damage or malfunction.
