Toughbook CF-52 Semi-Rugged Notebook
The CF-52 is the ideal all-round notebook when you are on the move or in the office. As a Toughbook, it comes up with a range of "ruggedized" features protecting its key components against vibrations and even falls from a height of up 76cm*.
The display is surrounded by dampers and is mounted in a durable magnesium case.
The hard disk drive is embedded in a shock-absorbing foam and is connected to the motherboard by flexible cabling.
The splash resistant keyboard and touchpad helps to stop water or any other liquid from entering the casing and causing internal damage, while rubber port covers protect all sensitive external connections.
The CF-52 has a bright 15.4" widescreen LCD in 16:10 format with WUXGA resolution – particularly beneficial when displaying complex graphics. Intel® core i5 Processor Technology, a weight of only 3.4kg and the integrated carrying handle provide maximum working flexibility.
Two Diversity WLAN antennas ensure optimal reception at all times, and finally, stateof-the-art energy-saving components combined with the CF-52's durable battery enable a running time of up to 4 hours.

CF-C1 is a rugged yet lightweight business notebook that can be used in clamshell or tablet form. This makes it ideal for mobile workers like field healthcare staff, market researchers and others who need to enter data in different ways. Along with a hand-free ergonomic strap that enables users to enter information with one hand, the CF-C1 features, on a configuration base, a Multi-touch + Digitizer screen or a Multi-touch resistive screen that can be used even with gloves.
The Panasonic Toughbook CF-C1 is unusual in that the touchscreen works in clamshell as well as in tablet mode with no risk of breakage, as its toughened triple hinge keeps the screen rigid while the user is typing on it. Panasonic has specially designed the three-dimensional hinge to be very robust without adding significant weight to the device.
The CF-C1 also offers users worry-free operation with up to 10 hours' battery life with its twin hot swappable-battery.
Twin hot-swappable battery and hand-free ergonomic strap
The new Panasonic Toughbook CF-C1 is especially well-suited to multi-taskers on the road
with little opportunity to recharge their device.
Its unique twin hot-swappable battery provides up to 10 hours of operation and allows users to exchange one while the unit is running. A Battery Charge Indicator shows the user the charge level at a glance and is always visible, even when the unit is turned off. With a single 4 cell battery installed, the unit is extremely light at just 1.47kg (and only 1.69kg with twin battery), and the moulded hand-free ergonomic strap lets users hold it easily with one hand while typing with the other. This makes the CF-C1 ideal for people who need to capture information in an environment where it may be difficult to put the unit down to type. Examples include researchers conducting point-of-sale customer surveys in a store, or nurses writing reports at a patient's bedside.
Practical and easy to clean
The CF-C1 features the Multi-touch capacitive touch screen that can be used with gloves, so
it is ideally suited to healthcare workers such as nurses and doctors on visits to patients'
homes. The unit also includes a rubberised, disinfectable hand-free ergonomic strap.
