Rugged laptops aren't too common in the everyday consumer world, but they can easily be found out on construction sites and even on the battle field for military use. Panasonic unveiled the "semi-rugged" Toughbook CF-C2 convertible tablet PC earlier today, and it's built for those who need a little bit of added protection when out in the field.
The display offers five-point multitouch and a digitizer for stylus use. Connectivity options include 802.11 a / b / g / n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and your choice of either 4G LTE or Gobi global 3G, but we can't imagine anyone picking 3G over LTE, but unless of course LTE isn't available in your area, in which case 3G is sadly your only option.
The Toughbook CF-C2 can withstand up to a 30-inch drop (approximately right below waist height), and can take up to six ounces of a beverage being spilled over its magnesium alloy body. The convertible tablet / laptop will start shipping in December, with the base model setting you back a steep $ 2,949.

ReplyDeleterugged laptops are designed to have a longer lifespan and require less frequent replacement compared to consumer laptops. While this can be cost-effective in the long run for industries where downtime is expensive, it means the initial investment is higher.
