It's natural to wonder whether these computers are worth their high price tag. Here's an examination of what Toughbooks have to offer, and a discussion of whether or not they really justify their price.<br />
<br />
When we talk about natural selection, we're generally not talking about laptops. However, if you left a handful of laptops in a stark environment, it'd be the ToughBook that made it.<br />
<br />
There are quite a few different models on the market, and they vary in how much they cost and how much they're built to withstand. A fully rugged Toughbook costs the most, but it'll hold up to almost anything.<br />
<br />
You can drop these machines from almost a meter up, leave them in the rain, drop them in the dust or cover them in mud. They're used by the US military, and it's even been said that a ToughBook saved a soldier's life.<br />
<br />
What's great is that newer models of Toughbook are relatively small and light for their durability and strength. They're not as thin or light as the newest ultraportables, but for laptops designed to take anything, 2.25 kilograms is a very light weight.<br />
<br />
Built to be used in extreme environments, fully rugged new Toughbooks use touch screens and styluses, a solid metal catch to secure the lid, and bright screens that can be read in full daylight or in darkness. Housings are magnesium alloy, and screens themselves can be dropped without a scratch.<br />
<br />
Some of the newer Toughbooks even offer a release catch below the screen that lets you rotate it for tablet style use. That lets field engineers and other professions use them to log data in the field. It's possible to custom build a Toughbook, so it has only the applications you need, too.<br />
<br />
Models are available with ordinary keys, and with larger ones that allow typing with gloves or for those with large fingers. Every connector and port has its own dust proof and water proof flat, and there are two hinged doors on the right side of the chassis, hiding the removable hard disk and battery.<br />
<br />
Enclosed in a shock resistant cage, that hard disk is proof against shocks and vibrations. While you'll find disk and memory sizes smaller and speeds a little slower than the newest ordinary laptops, most people who really need a Toughbook don't mind a slower performance if the hardware will last.<br />
<br />
Toughbooks also come with integrated wireless, and had it long before other laptops had even dreamed of wireless access. Current models have integrated Bluetooth and wi-fi adapters that work on multiple bandwidths.<br />
<br />
A long battery life means you can use your Toughbook all day without a recharge, too. There's almost nothing a Toughbook can't deal with.<br />
<br />
These little notebooks might be a bit pricey for the average user, but you won't be looking at them unless the ordinary laptop computer can't withstand what you need it to. For the user who really needs durable, portable computing, a Toughbook from Panasonic can't be beat, and it's well worth the price.</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />
