Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 review

 

The world's toughest laptop just got tougher

Unbeatable build quality ; Reasonably good performance for a niche product

Slightly hazy display

This laptop is designed for one purpose, and is perfectly suited to it

Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 Fully-Rugged Notebook

 

A Fully-Rugged Notebook.

Rugged notebooks are a special class of mobile devices. They have to meet special requirements even compared to regular corporate notebooks. You cannot address these notebooks with general choice criteria.

Durable faceoff and torture test: Panasonic's Toughbook 30 vs. GammaTech's Durabook D15RP

 

It seems like a bit of a rip-off -- if you want a laptop that won't shatter when its shiny little form slips out of your fingers as you run to your next meeting/target you have to pay a hefty premium to get something dull and durable. And, if that...

Bulletproof construction ; Solid performance ; Handy touchscreen

Massive heft ; Poor ergonomics ; You'll pay a premium

Panasonic has been making fully rugged U.S. military standard 810F notebooks for a number of years, catering to those that need to take their computer into some of the most extreme environments in the world. Recently, Panasonic introduced the fully...

Can be used in almost any environment ; Built-in handle for portability ; Extremely long battery life ; High quality ; Rigid screen lid ; Can be used as a weapon

Not for the faint of wallet ; No bleeding edge hardware ; Heavy and bulky ; Expensive upgrades ; Not made for gaming

I am more than satisfied with the Toughbook and it is everything Panasonic advertised it to be

Panasonic Toughbook 30

 

Even though the Toughbook 30 is a bit of an anchor, it's the most rugged laptop in this roundup, suffering not a scratch in all our testing. If you absolutely, positively have to make sure your data and apps survive, the Toughbook 30 is the way to go.

Long battery life; fast processor; extremely rugged

Video Review: Panasonic CF-30 Toughbook

 

Panasonic approached us a few weeks ago offering a Toughbook CF-30 to test in any way we saw fit. Rather than a lot of fancy lab tested, we decided to run over the laptop with a Toyota RAV4. The laptop, surprisingly, survived almost unscathed. These...

Panasonic DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive for CF-30 Toughbooks

 

Pansonic's CF-VDR302U DVD/CD-RW combo drive is a bit overpriced, but it's something you'll most likely need for your CF-30 Toughbook computer.
