Panasonic’s Toughbook brand is still synonymous with the concept of a heavy-duty portable computer. Panasonic’s $2,099 Toughbook CF-W7 manages to fit plenty of extra protection into a 12-inch laptop that weighs just barely more than three pounds, making an impressive system of the rugged users.
The good: The Toughbook CF-W7 can withstand small spills and up to 200 pounds of pressure; weighs the same as a MacBook Air; WWAN options are available.
The bad: Bulky and ugly; ports and connections are not protected; ho-hum performance; dated 4:3 aspect display; circular touchpad is difficult to use.
The bottom line: The Panasonic Toughbook CF-W7 manages to be lightweight and awkwardly bulky, but this rugged ultraportable offers excellent protection for business travelers who are extra rough on their systems.
Price: Starting at $2,099.
