NEXT GENERATION TOUGHBOOK® RUGGED COMPUTERS

Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, the leading provider of durable, reliable wireless mobile PCs, has introduced two new rugged Panasonic® Toughbook® computers: The CF-19 convertible tablet PC, and the flagship CF-30 clamshell notebook. Building on the success of the CF-18 tablet and CF-29 notebook, these new Toughbooks come equipped with Intel Core Duo processors, additional security features, and optional embedded access to next-generation wireless data networks from all major cellular wireless carriers. In addition, these MIL-SPEC-certified notebooks incorporate daylight-readable screens and the rugged features?such as magnesium alloy cases, sealed keyboards and ports, flexible internal connectors and shock-mounting?that ultimately deliver the highest levels of reliability in the industry. Panasonic is delivering the brightest displays available today, without compromising battery life. The CF-19 features a bright 550 Nit (candelas per square meter, a measure of brightness) screen with a new low-reflection coating and the CF-30 boasts an industry-leading 1,000 Nit LCD, delivering the brightness of a fixed mount display in a portable computer. The CF-30 is the first mobile notebook to achieve this milestone in screen brightness that is critical for law enforcement, first responders, members of the armed forces, field service technicians and mobile workers in all industries who are required to use computers in direct sunlight. The new CF-19 and CF-30 Toughbook® computers also feature backwards compatibility with existing vehicle mount solutions for previous generation Toughbooks (the CF-18 and CF-29), protecting the investments of existing Toughbook owners and easing their upgrade process.• Genuine Windows® XP Professional • Intel® CentrinoTM Mobile Technology • Integrated 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN • 13.3" daylight-readable TFT Active Matrix Color LCD with optional touchscreen • 7.9 lbs., including battery, floppy drive and handle • Full magnesium alloy case with handle • Moisture- and dust-resistant LCD, keyboard and touchpad • Sealed port and connector covers • Shock-mounted removable hard drive in stainless steel case • Wireless ready for Cingular, Sprint and Verizon Wireless networks
