Panasonic Upgrade their ToughBook and ToughPad Range of Tablet PCs

The upgrades apply to the Toughbook CF-19, the market-leading, rotating screen, convertible notebook, which sets the benchmark in ruggedness; the Toughbook CF-31, the flagship of the range with the ultimate balance of screen, performance and rugged reliability; the Toughbook CF-H2, the Field and Health version of this rugged tablet; and the Toughbook CF-53, the Semi-rugged notebook aimed at mobile users with business critical applications who value total cost of ownership.

Last year, Panasonic Toughbook maintained its European dominance of the market sector for the 11th year in succession with 63% unit market share, according to analyst group VDC. Panasonic also became the European market leader for rugged business tablets with a 29% unit share of the market and a 400% year-on-year increase in units shipped.

The Toughbook and Toughpad success is due to factors such as their durable and rugged performance, ergonomic design, superior inside and outside screen viewing technology and tailored docking and peripheral solutions to meet the varied needs of the most demanding mobile workers.
