Panasonic has updated the line-up of its 'ToughBook' range of laptops by launching five new models. All five laptops are powered by Intel Core i5 vPro processor and include: CF-S9, CF-F9, CF-C1, CF-19 and CF-31.
Panasonic's Toughbook range is known for its ruggedness and "go anywhere" nature. These laptops can go to places and do stuff no other "normal" laptops could handle. For example, you can drop a Toughbook from a height of 76cms and it would survive the fall (even while it's on!). Interestingly, the height is reduced to 30cms when the laptop is off -probably because the security mechanisms would be active when it's powered off.
They also come with waterproof keyboards and some versions can survive 0.2 liter of water spillage. If all these weren't enough, these models can also resist pressure load of 100 kg and localised pressure load of 30 kg.
The CF-19 and CF-31 models from the range run on Windows 7 Professional and comes with a three-year limited warranty on parts and labour.
Here are the prices of the new models:
* CF-19- Rs. 2,12,000
* CF-31- Rs. 2,54,000
* CF-U1-Rs. 1,58,000
* CF-S9- Rs. 1,49,000
* CF-F9- Rs. 1,57,000
* CF-C1- Rs. 1,52,000
As you might have seen, these are, by no means, cheap devices. But then, if you work in a hazardous area or somewhere you wouldn't like to take you Macbook along, this one seems to be the perfect choice!
