Panasonic’s Toughbook 19 convertible tablet is now available with Intel Core 2 Duo processors and up to 4GB of memory. The Toughbook 19 is part of Panasonic’s military-grade notebook line, which is built for demanding users who work in extreme environments.

The Toughbook 19 can be outfitted with an optional touchscreen display and webcam.

“Panasonic has always been at the forefront of engineering and building mobile solutions that incorporate enhancements in processing power while advancing durability, screen brightness, battery life and embedded wireless technologies,” said Kyp Walls, a director of product management at Panasonic.

The Toughbook 19 is a serious piece of work and is rugged than most users will ever need. But if you work in a dusty, hot, cold or otherwise hazardous environment, you’ll appreciate what Panasonic has to offer, including its indoor/outdoor display and fan-less design to keep your Toughbook’s guts safe.

Pricing and Availability

The Toughbook 19F is available now starting at $3,199. If you want the Toughbook 19 with integrated camera you’ll have to wait until May and pay at least $3,699.
