We’ve seen all sorts of great ruggedness from Panasonic over the years, and now Panasonic has released their latest notebook from its Toughbook series, the Toughbook S9 has been claimed by Panasonic to be the world’s lightest 12.1-inch laptop with DVD drive.
Panasonic has surprised all of their customers with their new notebook named Panasonic Toughbook 31. It doesn’t look like a notebook it looks more like a briefcase with built in laptop to me and it is designed for most demanding users.
Folks at Akihabara have received the latest Panasonic Toughbook F8 Business Rugged Laptop. Although it looks nothing like what you would call slim, they have found it to be surprisingly lightweight. Currently, the SRP is between $2,099 to $2,499.
It does have some fancy, outstanding features, as you can see in the gallery below, it comes in a variety of sizes and two of the larger ones have got its DVD drive ‘built-in’ and opens like a vent, which makes me think that could be a great way to prevent it from overheating! It also has a rather awkward looking handle which allows users to carry it like a suitcase. More pictures in the gallery below…
