Exceptional Portability

Exceptional Portability

Toughbooks are easy to carry in the field. The Toughbook 30 has a built-in handle for convenient portability. It is easy to hold in one hand while using tools or testing equipment in the other. The 1.5 lbs. MDWD (Mobile Data Wireless Display) touchscreen, using 802.11b, can work up to 300 ft. from any wireless LAN-enabled Toughbook for unsurpassed mobility.

 

Putting the Tough in Toughbooks

Durability

Panasonic seals every port, hinge, keyboard and connector for unmatched durability. Toughbooks endure stringent MIL-STD-810F testing procedures that measure for dust, water, vibration, extreme temperature and moisture resistance, as well as drop shock absorption. This makes them the PC solution that's tough enough to handle diverse applications. Toughbooks can take it-day in and day out.
