Panasonic ToughBook 19 Updated

Panasonic has already revised its ToughBook 19 rugged tablet PC by ditching the Core Duo U2400 1.06Ghz processor in favor of the Intel Core 2 Duo U7500 1.06GHz processor. The clock speed might be the same, but this new architecture ensures that the system will be more energy efficient and faster when it comes to number-crunching moments. The initial memory that comes with the ToughBook has also been doubled to 1GB, with a maximum of 4GB. As for the hard drive, the previous 60GB model has been bumped up to 80GB. You can choose from an integrated camera version and one without, with the former retailing for $3,699 while the latter is going for $3,199. Everything else about its toughness remains, so feel free to drop it onto a concrete floor whenever you’re frustrated your Excel spreadsheets don’t add up.
