After yesterdays sneak-peak, today we have full news. Panasonic introduced the Toughbook CF-U1, a Rugged Ultra mobile PC for extreme Environments. “Panasonic builds the new Toughbook CF-U1, but our customers designed it,” said Kyp Walls, director of product management, Panasonic Computer Solutions Company. “The form and functionality is a direct result of more than two years of feedback we solicited from an array of government and commercial organizations seeking to address the needs of a broad range of mobile users. We’ve responded with a highly portable and durable device that offers integrated features such as an LCD touchscreen, solid state drive as well as an optional fingerprint scanner for user authentication. Data capture is enabled using 1D and 2D barcode and RFID readers and a 2-megapixel digital camera. The Toughbook CF-U1 offers full-shift battery life, a sunlight viewable screen and seamless connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G-mobile-broadband internet connectivity, all within an extremely rugged package for maximum reliability.”
CF-U1 comes equipped with new low power Intel Atom processor. Measuring 2.2" (H) x 7.2" (W) x 5.9" (D) and featuring a weight of 2.3 lbs, the Toughbook CF-U1 has a magnesium alloy chassis encased with ABS and elastomer that offers protection from bumps and drops of up to 4 feet and makes it resistant to the 'elements'. CF-U1 operates on the full-function Windows XP and Windows Vista, features QWERTY keyboard. Rain, spill, dust and vibration-resistant PC operates with 16GB solid state removable drive (32GB optional) and 1GB memory, and twin batteries enable battery replacement without disrupting operation. Available worldwide in August, 2008 it is expected to be available at an estimated street price of $2,499.
