Panasonic Toughbooks - Rugged Laptops and Tablets
Panasonic Toughbooks were originally created for the military and emergency services that require maximum reliability in the harshest conditions. However, various other industries where durability is critical have recognised the benefits of Toughbooks. From telecommunications to utilities, engineering to maintenance, factories to agriculture, Toughbooks are the professional’s choice.
Panasonic Toughbooks are manufactured to two levels of ruggedness – fully and semi – in laptop, tablet and 2-in-1 form factors. The Toughbook range is designed to work in diverse environments and is supplied with a 3-year warranty as standard.

Semi Rugged Panasonic Toughbooks
Semi-ruggedised Toughbooks, equipped with Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ processor, achieve the perfect balance between impact resistance and up-front elegance.
The hard drive, display and other sensitive components are all protected by a magnesium-thickened case, and the hard drive is mounted in shock-absorbing polymers to help insulate against vibration and shock, helping it withstand a fall from a height of 76 cm without damage. A non-breakable plastic seal covers all vital interfaces and connections.
The keypad and touchpad are water resistant and the casing is fully impact and scratch-resistant.

Fully Rugged Panasonic Toughbooks
Even in the harshest environments, a fully ruggedised Toughbook is a reliable companion. Because each unit is fully sealed, your data is safe from moisture or dust – whilst its unique dampers protect the hard disk and screen from vibration and impact. In short, whatever you’re doing, a Toughbook won’t let you down.
Our refurbished Toughbooks come with either a one-year or three-year warranty and have been thoroughly checked and tested to ensure that you receive a Toughbook in flawless working condition.
