Panasonic adds the Toughbook 8 series to its line-up

Those who have been looking for tough and ruggedized notebooks will be glad to know that Panasonic is coming out with three Toughbook 8 notebook models – the F8, W8 and T8.

All three notebooks with their Intel Core 2 Duo Processors are lightweight, ranging from 1.3 to 1.7 kgs courtesy of their magnesium alloy casing and chassis. Panasonic put in flexible internal connectors so the Toughbook can withstand lots of abuse. The hard drives and LCDs are shock mounted to keep them protected. Also, don’t worry about dumping liquids onto the keyboard because it is spill-resistant.
