ITreviewed posted a review on the Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 (MK3)



Initial impressions of the CF-19 are that it's an ugly beast that doesn't cut it in terms of raw specifications, especially given the high price. But it's not until you fully appreciate the technical complexities of manufacturing a fully rugged laptop that you look past the design. There are less expensive laptops in the market, but when they drop, they break. However, Panasonic's CF-19 can withstand a fall from 90cm without damage. There's also a ton of other protection features and it is even resistant against water, dust, dirt, heat, humidity and cold temperatures. Its daylight-readable touchscreen is another standout feature, along with its bevy of tucked-away slots and ports and a massive battery life. The CF-19 doesn't come cheap, and there are far more powerful machines for less money, but if your outdoor mobile computing needs are extreme, you'll struggle to beat the Toughbook CF-19. This laptop begs for abuse.
