Panasonic Toughbook 19
$3,750.00
Released April, 2009
The Pros:Reasonably light for a rugged notebook, keeping in mind the amount of physical abuse this notebook can take. Long battery life, designed to last a day's worth of work. Touchscreen is responsive, unlike some convertible tablets where the user will have to tap multiple times for the screen to register.
The Cons:Cramped keyboard, size have been reduced in order to fit in the small chassis. Touchpad has a lot of friction, not so easy to use.

The 10.4" touch display is sunlight-viewable, features a concealed mode, and can be converted into a tablet PC. Advanced computing performance is not the Toughbook 19's focus, as it utilizes a 1.2GHz dual-core Intel processor and 2 GB of RAM. For use around the world, a global wireless internet service is optionally built in, while draft-n wi-fi and Bluetooth v2.0+EDR are standard. It also integrates a multitude of security features, like vPro technology within the processor and a theft protection system, while others are available as options, including a fingerprint reader. Windows Vista normally arrives preloaded, but buyers can choose to downgrade to XP. Battery life is rated at 9 hours with Vista and 10 with XP.
