Panasonic’s Tough line has always been known for its
durability and ruggedness. The company is now introducing a 2-in-1 detachable
convertible that bears the Tough line’s moniker – the Windows 10-powered
ToughBook 20.
Contrary to its name, this ToughBook sports a 10.1-inch
display, which has a WUXGA resolution. The innards is composed of an Intel Core
m5-6757 processor that can be clocked up to 2.8GHz, 8GB of RAM and 128GB SSD
that can be upgraded up to 512GB.
As to be expected from a ToughBook, the convertible has
MIL-STD-810G and IP65 certification, which means its water, dust, freeze and
shock proof. The device also takes the design aesthetics of previous of Tough
models before it, which includes a magnesium alloy chassis that’s encased with
ABS and “elastomer” edges.
The display has 800-nits of brightness and features
anti-reflective and anti-glare treatments. In terms of ports, the ToughBook 20
has a number of outlets that are scattered between the keyboard dock and the
main unit including USB, a microSDXC reader, HDMI, Ethernet, a
headphone/speaker combo port, a micro-SIM (for the optional LTE) and a VGA port
to name a few.
The ToughBook 20 weighs around 3.9 lbs and will be available
by February 2016 for around $3099.
