The
Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 and CF-30 Mk III have a magnesium alloy frame and shock-absorbent damper encasing the hard drive. The company claims that the units can withstand knocks, vibrations and sharp temperature fluctuations, while surviving falls from up to 90cm. The CF-19 screen rotates 180 degrees, and converts to tablet form.
Panasonic Australia's Group Manager for Toughbook, John Wood said, "Panasonic has been manufacturing purpose built, reliable and rugged notebooks for over 15 years. We continue to listen to our customers and improve on features to maintain our notebooks' class-leading performance."
The Toughbook CF-19 Mk III has doubled its screen brightness from 500nit to 1000nit, while the CF-30 continues to boast 1000nit. With a circular polarizing touch screen and anti-reflection coating, it is easier to read under direct sunlight, ideally-suited to outdoor use.
Both models promise a battery life of 9 hours even with the increased screen brightness, making the unit even more mobile and functional.
