Panasonic Toughbook 40 (Core i7-1370P vPro, 16GB, 512GB) Review
Panasonic Toughbook 40 fully rugged laptop with Intel Core i7-1370P vPro, 16GB upgradeable DDR5, 512GB SSD, 14-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen, MIL-STD-810H and IP66 rated.
The Toughbook 40 is Panasonic's flagship fully-rugged 14-inch laptop for field service, utilities, defense and public safety, with a modular bay for extra batteries, ports or a smart card reader.
Overview
Unlike most ultrabooks, the Toughbook 40 keeps a genuinely user-serviceable design: SO-DIMM memory, a swappable modular bay, and a hot-swappable battery, wrapped in a magnesium-alloy rugged shell rated to MIL-STD-810H drop and IP66 dust/water standards.
