PANASONIC TOUGHBOOK CF-29 TOUCHSCREEN RUGGED LAPTOP
Panasonic Toughbooks have been ruggedized inside and out to protect screens, cases, keyboards and hard drives from drops, liquid spills and falling objects-the three leading causes of notebook damage. With Panasonic Toughbooks, time isn't wasted transferring data from damaged systems, recovering lost work, hiring expensive IT consultants or replacing failed notebooks. Designed for unparalleled performance and durability, Panasonic Toughbooks have become the industry's most reliable mobile PCs-they're your best defense against downtime. The wireless-ready Toughbook 29 is the industry's fastest fully rugged notebook PC. It has a sealed full magnesium alloy case and shock-mounted hard drive. With a large anti-reflective, outdoor-readable LCD, it also ensures easy viewing in any light.
The ToughBook CF-29 TOUCHSCREEN comes closer to an indestructible notebook than anything we've seen. This big, "ruggedized" laptop not only absorbs the abuse of the clumsiest executive or a foot soldier in the field, it also provides phenomenal battery life and good performance. Unfortunately, at more than $4,900, it's also twice as expensive and twice as thick as your everyday business laptop

Panasonic builds this laptop for military personnel, police departments, and
a certain breed of traveler who inflicts damage on laptops. The laptop lives up
to its rugged name, with a hardened magnesium-aluminum case, shock-mounted
hardware, a waterproof keyboard, and rubber seals over the openings. To test
Panasonic's claims, we dropped the ToughBook CF-29 three times from 36 inches
onto concrete, then sprayed it with water. This would've reduced most laptops to
a pile of wet parts, but it had no effect on the Panasonic ToughBook CF-29.

The laptop features most of the major connection technologies, although it lacks a FireWire port and unfortunately has only one USB 2.0 port, which will be a problem if you have more than one USB peripheral. The Panasonic ToughBook CF-29 includes the following ports and slots: Gigabit Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi wireless networking, parallel, serial, audio, external monitor, PS/2, and a pair of PC Card slots
