Panasonic Offers Upgraded Line of Business-Rugged Toughbook Notebooks
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, manufacturer of durable, reliable
Panasonic Toughbook mobile computers, announced major updates to its
business-rugged notebook computer line.
The updates include the introduction of the thin-and-light F8 and
upgrades to the tablet alternative T8 and the ultraportable W8 for road
warriors, walking workers and mobile executives. 8 Series Toughbook
mobile computers will also include the Gobi 3G mobile broadband (WWAN)
solution from Qualcomm that allows connection to high-speed mobile
Internet services offered by network operators virtually anywhere in
the world.
The business computing solutions are based on Panasonic's more than 15
years of engineering and manufacturing robust notebook computers that
deliver the durability, reliability and connectivity essential to
keeping government and business professionals working wherever and
whenever they need to.
"The growing trend of portability in computers-lighter weight, longer
battery life, advanced wireless capabilities-needs to be balanced by
true durability," said Daniel Longfield, industry analyst, mobile and
wireless, Frost & Sullivan. "Highly mobile government, enterprise and
small business users need reliable connectivity to drive continued
productivity. Panasonic's proven business-rugged notebooks enabled with
Gobi address this requirement."
"Panasonic Toughbook business-rugged notebooks are engineered for the
truly mobile professional. We have designed these notebooks to offer
industry-leading portability, durability and wireless connectivity-a
necessary combination for today's workers on the move," said Kyp Walls,
director of product management, Panasonic Computer Solutions Company.
"Reliability is an issue that is coming into the mainstream with a lot
of talk about computers being 'rugged'. While many vendors appear to be
making moves in the direction of improved durability, most business
notebooks are still seeing annual failure rates in the double digits.
"We believe users with demanding jobs should demand more from their
PCs. Panasonic leads the industry in reliability by engineering and
building our notebooks to be durable from the inside-out. We add to
that a three-year warranty and an around-the-clock US-based support
team to give the highest possible return on investment and lowest total
cost of ownership."
